Ken Jeong- 5’5 ft. (1.65 m)
Ken Jeong is a comedic actor mostly known for his roles in The Hangover and Community. What you may not have known about him is that acting wasn’t his first career choice. Prior to getting into the industry, Jeong established a career in medicine, and in 1995 he received his M.D certificate as the UNC School of Medicine.

Despite being a licensed physician, Jeong gave it up to pursue an acting career (and I can’t say I’m disappointed). He got his first taste of performance when he took an improve and theater class at UNC. He then became a regular at open mic nights, which led to a number of TV appearances like in Entourage and The Office. His first movie role was in Knocked Up, where he actually played a doctor—the irony.
