Steven Yeun Rewatches The Walking Dead, Beef, Nope, Minari & More | Vanity Fair

[@kenlu7261]

Super underrated actor. Absolutely loved his acting performance in "Beef".

[@Molemanski]

He is by absolutely zero means underrated.

[@jacobmandeville-yh7cc]

@@Molemanski he ain’t A-list? and he’s good in every role he plays, but he ain’t a headliner, I think that makes him pretty underrated.

[@Sarnatuile]

Most actors start as ''underrated''. It's breakout performances like in TWD and Beef that makes them A list. He'll be A list very soon.

I’m so happy Steven is having his moment, he truly deserves it , beef was an amazing show. Every character he plays brings a full life into them. I can’t wait to see his future projects.

[@HeavyMetalMayhem]

Notice how he took it more serious when it got to his Korean movies. Something about using your own language that hits deeper.

[@infinitestrafez8710]

He definitely deserves awards for his acting in beef. Especially the church scene

[@lovingwhereiam]

the church scene was so amazing. it almost felt wrong to watch such an intense and intimate moment 🥲

Steven, the moment I saw you on Walking Dead, I was hooked by your acting. Your character of Glenn was the most loved & your connection with Maggie was the best one. When you left WTD, there was a void. You are amazing, keep working hard!

[@stackerman2800]

Imo I thought his acting in TWD was a little cheesy and cliche. But his acting in beef was fantastic

[@Greeneyes831]

it seems he isn’t aware of the impact he had as Glenn on TWD. a lot of ppl stopped watching after his character was no longer apart of it.

[@michelewilliams87]

@@stackerman2800 I loved the “cheese” You need to remember he was just a young adult at the beginning. His character was a delivery boy and kind of nerdy. He grew over the years to a strong character beloved by many

[@thestray]

He's going to go down as one of the greatest actors of our generation, mark my words.

[@plaguedoctor5657]

I find his performance in Beef, Minari and Burning so outstanding by just how different the characters feel. They are all so completely different but feel just as genuine and intense.

[@hypershade]

watch the walking dead it is what he is most known for and the walking dead is an AMAZING show

[@anonycheetah3691]

Steven fans have KNOWN he is a fantastic actor with amazing acting range. I’m so happy in his role in Beef, the whole world gets to see it on display!

Steven is also a fantastic voice actor. He’s performances in Voltron and Invincible were both excellent!

[@blueskullsports2693]

I was a little disappointed they didn’t have him watch an invincible clip

[@egkidk]

One of the few actors who has only ever been in exceptional films - every single thing he’s ever been in have been above and beyond

[@fielpiel8144]

I love the sincerity he has in all his roles, he's so human in every movie and show, even with outrageous concepts he encapsulates a human with incredible depth so well !!! There are no words to describe how his characters touch the viewers soul!

[@joneg7777]

Crazy that a Netflix show has shot this actor up to being re-noticed by the public. His PR team have timed his promos really well with the release of Beef. Will definitely be checking out these other films he's been in great job man

I guess this is one aspect of American culture that everybody is obsessed with rating a star. Well, how about rating our own lives. He's not living in a gunshot street and he doesn't unfairly take advantage of poor people. Not terribly bad nor is it too good, unlike some of our neighbors. And... why do you rate someone in the first place? One may think it's bad acting while others may love it.

[@Harew0lf]

truuuu

[@moopdedoop]

I think it says a lot that Steven about Steven's character that he focuses on other people in the screen and talks about how wonderful they are, instead of just focusing on himself.

[@gabrielleandres8581]

His credits speak for themselves. Wonderful actor with really deeply emotional character choices.

[@valetudo7363]

Steven seems very intelligent, articulate and cares about his craft as an actor.

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

Wow, this interview really showcased Steven's range. I had forgotten about his character in Burning. I'm such a fan. And lovely to see him so relaxed and not self-deprecating here.

[@xnng]

Yes his range is phenomenal!

[@literatelimpy4440]

Steven Yeun is my favorite actor! So thank you for having him here Vanity Fair , and thank you Steven for coming on so we could see more of you!

[@cindygrape]

I'll literally watch anything with Steven Yeun in it, he's incredible! I'm so happy we got a small glimpse of Burning (and of my favorite scene no less)! I still get chills for just thinking about his character in it

[@davec2824]

His role in Burning made me a fan. Incredible film and he played the role perfectly

[@Bugga-Ray-Dudley]

In TWD he is so naturally likeable but in that movie he plays a subtle douche so perfectly… really is a phenomenal actor who is great with the small things

​@@TheTonyEntertainmentbro i watched burning last night and idk if I can see him the same way hahah. He's so scary

I love hearing Steven still talking about about twd ❤ he’s such an underrated actor. He’s super talented, super funny and seems like such a nice person ❤

[@Blahhhh_11]

I just recently got around to watching his final episode in the Walking Dead as well as Beef. The love I have for him as an actor and humane is unreal. SO beyond talented and I hope he continues to rise!

[@TheSuperNats]

I’ve loved Steven since TWD, he was absolutely incredible as Jube. In a movie with so much going on he nailed being the subtle center of it.

[@henrikhasell4470]

Steven was so amazing in Burning. His performance gave me chills, total psycho character. The way he laughs at Jong-su and yawns when Hae-mi is dancing conveys so much.

[@태이씨]

Almost all projects with Steven Yeun involved are my all times favorites. That's gotta mean something.

[@fluffyclouds555]

[@the_nikster1]

this is literally the first time I've seen one of these and plan to watch the movies that I haven't seen yet, simply because I want to see more Steven Yeun. he is an incredible actor and I'm so happy that he's having this moment; it's so well deserved. ❤

[@MarJoPB]

He won the Golden Globe for Beef!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@THEchiQ]

I’m going to have to watch Beef now. The trailer made my teeth itch. It’s the only live action project of his that’s repelled me, but seeing that clip made me want to see it. He’s a big reason to watch something.

[@trangngo7858]

I'm so in awe with his choice of scripts and the projects that he chose to do. He's not just a talented actor but also super interesting and intelligent as a person. Can't wait to see what he does next.

[@WereSquatch]

Im glad hes one of the few of the series that branched out after TWD

[@TheSwauzz]

I don't understand why it's taken this long for him to pop off in the industry since leaving TWD. Extremely talented actor that I hope to see more and more of in the future.

[@stvltiloqvent]

Because he's mostly been in indie darlings!! But that's paid off because now he's got an impressive portfolio with zero misses!

[@TitaniumTectonic]

"Beef" was intense! I'm so happy it was recognized at the Emmy's.

[@keeptaiwanfree]

i feel like his portrayal in Beef was so real and the character felt so realistic that i forgot i was watching a movie. he is super good

[@raspberries6992]

I have enjoyed every role I've seen him do! I love his choices as an actor, and I can't wait to see what he does next!

[@siiiiiuu7]

YES. The collection of films he's chosen to be a part of have all been so special and representative of him. I'm sure he gets constant offers for various roles now but you can tell how much he values his craft. It's at the point where if I see his name associated with a project, I immediately know it's gonna be a banger.

[@Sheamus1212]

stevens church scene in beef still moves me

[@originaozz]

He always, always picked interesting projects to be in. You can see the variety of his characters, but they all got this sincerity that's very unique to him.

Burning is my favorite movie with him. Simply amazing

[@em0shorty]

Iconic actor rewatching his old projects and seeing how much twd has had so much effect on me when I start watching it just makes me so proud of him and the other actors

[@Jaydogg222]

I felt like Steven Yeun's character in NOPE was way more interesting than the main protagonists. Would rather have seen a horror film based on the tragedy he had as a child than what we got.

[@enviritas9498]

Jupe and Jean Jacket were the real MVPs of that movie.

[@vegardpedersen]

Yeah, never getting tired of seeing him :-)

[@Malkaryon]
