Steve Park (comedian)

Steve Park (comedian)

Steve Park is a Korean American comedian. Originally a stand-up comedian, his best known work includes being a cast member of "In Living Color" during the 1991-1992 season and the roles of Mike Yanagita in "Fargo" and Sonny in "Do The Right Thing". During his run on In Living Color, he often portrayed Asian characters, or spoofed people such as Yoko Ono and Connie Chung. He is married to another former cast member of "In Living Color", Kelly Coffield.

After witnessing a racist incident while doing a guest role on the show "Friends", he wrote a mission statement requesting that the mainstream media portray Asian Americans in a more positive light rather than encourage hate towards them.
