SUL Kyung-gu has pursued a different acting career from the rest. His projects range from art-house to big budget commercial films. He appeared in the films looked at as a commentary on social issues such as <A Peppermint Candy> and <Oasis> but at the same time he has not shun the blockbusters such as <The Legend of Gingko>, <Jail Breakers>, <Silmido> and <Haeundae>. He was so strong, powerful, and intimidating when he was in the <Public Enemy> series and <Silmido>. But he is very delicate and skillfully depicts details when he recreated the ordinary everyday life in sober on-screen melodramas such as <I Wish I Had a Wife> and <Lost in Love>. He proved his acting caliber and commercial viability playing a ruthless cop in the thriller film, the <Public Enemy> series. He is a dedicated actor who extremely gains and losses weight for roles – he is even nicknamed “Mr. Fluctuating weight.” SUL Kyung-gu is often listed as Korea’s top character actors alongside [SONG Kang-ho]. His acting goes way over the top when he takes on a role of a sluggard or an outlaw, but contrary to his charismatic look, he is very good at portraying delicate feelings. SUL Kyung-gu showed off impeccable acting talent appearing in two recent crime thrillers, <No Mercy> and <Troubleshooter>. SUL returned to blockbuster status as the lead in the inferno thriller <The Tower>, which opened on Christmas Eve in 2012. 2013 saw him in no less than three diverse commercial projects: as a spy in the action-comedy The Spy: Undercover Operation, a surveillance expert in the thriller Cold Eyes and as a father trying to cope with his daughter’s assault in LEE Joon-ik’s Hope. In 2014, he appeared as a struggling actor in the 1970s who gets the role of lifetime, impersonating North Korean dictator KIM Sung-il for the government, only to fall into mental disrepair, in LEE Hae-jun's second solo directing effort <My Dictator>. The following year saw him appear in the Korean War blockbuster <The Long Way Home> from Lotte Entertainment and the techno thriller <Lucid Dream>, alongside KO Soo.Less
