He then worked on his looks and body, taught himself the nuances of acting, and plunged into the show business in the early 2000’s. He made his debut in My Fair Lady in 2003, which is a remake of a successful Japanese series. Then, he found his spotlight after starring in Stairway to Heaven (2003).
