'''Cho Jae-hyun''' (born June 30, 1965) is a South Korean film, stage, and TV actor. He is commonly dubbed "director [[Kim Ki-duk]]'s [[persona]]" since Cho has starred as leading and supporting characters in a number of films directed by Kim.<ref name="KMDb Korean">{{cite web |url=http://www.kmdb.or.kr/actor/mm_basic.asp?person_id=00000991 |script-title=ko:조재현 |trans-title=Cho Jae-hyun |work=[[Korean Movie Database]] (KMDb) |access-date=2010-02-11 |language=ko |archive-date=2021-08-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210821070246/http://www.kmdb.or.kr/actor/mm_basic.asp?person_id=00000991 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>[http://sports.hankooki.com/lpage/cinet/200603/sp2006031107191158470.htm 조재현 "김기덕 감독, 연기인생의 은인"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210821070905/http://sports.hankooki.com/lpage/cinet/200603/sp2006031107191158470.htm |date=2021-08-21 }}.

==Early years and education==
Cho Jae-hyun was born in [[Gyeongju]] on June 30, 1965.<ref>{{cite web |title=Full Profile Of Korean Actor, Cho Jae-hyun |url=https://channel-korea.com/full-profile-of-cho-jae-hyun/ |website=Channel-K |access-date=February 19, 2019 |archive-date=February 20, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190220063156/https://channel-korea.com/full-profile-of-cho-jae-hyun/ |url-status=usurped }}</ref> He and his family lived in a poor neighborhood on the slopes of a hill until his father became successful with his restaurant business in the [[Jongno]] area, Seoul. In a 2002 interview with the film magazine Cine21, Cho said he was a rebellious boy wandering outside the home. He aspired to be a painter, so tried to enter an art high school but failed. When he entered another high school, Cho ran away from home to [[Busan]]. Cho worked as a waiter there, and studied on his own to pass a [[General Educational Development|qualification exam]] equivalent to obtaining a high school [[diploma]]. However, Cho failed it, so returned to Seoul to finish his high school year.<ref name="Cine 21-1">{{cite news |last=Choi |first=Soo-im |date=3 January 2002 |url=http://www.cine21.com/news/view/mag_id/6551 |title=야누스의 얼굴, 조재현 (1) |website=[[Cine21]] |language=ko |access-date=2012-11-19 |archive-date=2012-10-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121018081725/http://www.cine21.com/news/view/mag_id/6551 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Cho was admitted to study theater and film at [[Kyungsung University]]. Cho recollected he indulged himself in Busan's culture as a freshman and sophomore, then focused on theater for the rest of his university years. Cho said a question from his [[Korean honorifics#Seonbae.2FHubae|junior]] in school during his third summer break shook him to rethink about his future; "What would you do after the graduation from the school?" Cho said he felt shame at the time because he could not clearly answer the question. Therefore, Cho started dedicating himself to acting.<ref name="Cine 21-1" />

==Acting career==
After graduation, Cho was selected as a TV actor by a public recruit of [[Korea Broadcasting System]] (KBS), and officially debuted as a professional actor by starring as the youngest brother of [[Yu In-chon]] in ''The Age of Ambition'' (야먕의 세월). But theater remained his main priority, as Cho and his friends established a theatrical company named "Jongak" (종각, literally "Bell Pavilion"), which produced several works on the stage such as ''Tricycles'' (세발자전거, 1989), ''[[Look Back in Anger]]'' (성난 얼굴로 돌아보라, 1990) and ''[[The Lovers of Woomook-baemi]]'' (우묵배미의 사랑, 1990). In 1991, Cho won Best New Actor in Theater at the [[Baeksang Arts Awards]] for his acting in ''[[Equus (play)|Equus]]''; he reinterpreted the leading role Alan Strang as an innocent person, though he is largely depicted as a cruel and rebellious character.

In 2009, Cho revisited ''Equus'' by directing the play and playing the other lead character Martin Dysart.<ref name=equus>{{cite web|last=Chung|first=Ah-young|url=https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/art/2012/08/145_54443.html|title=Best Play Series to Open With Equus|access-date=2012-11-19|work=[[The Korea Times]]|date=28 October 2009|archive-date=2016-03-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304044519/http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/art/2012/08/145_54443.html|url-status=live}}</ref> This was part of the highly successful ''Yeongeuk Yeoljeon'' ("A Series of the Best Plays"),<ref>{{cite web|last=Chung|first=Ah-young|title=Musicals Slightly Down, Plays Up in Ticket Sales|url=https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/art/2009/09/145_27955.html|access-date=2012-11-19|work=[[The Korea Times]]|date=21 July 2008|archive-date=2016-03-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304051511/http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/art/2009/09/145_27955.html|url-status=live}}</ref> of which Cho was the programmer in 2008-2009.
