More Praises for Will Yun Lee’s Performance as Jae on Bionic Woman

Will Yun Lee’s quietly sexy performance as Jae on Bionic Woman helped him nab a spot in People’s Sexiest Man Alive issue a few weeks ago, and now he is winning kudos for his performance on the show as well as his chizeled good looks.

Jon Caramanica of the Los Angeles Times has included Will on his list of “Gems of This TV Season,” an interesting read designed to celebrate the quality performances that are often overlooked by the conventional wisdom of the television press. Jon’s praises of Will’s performance include these words:

“As he was on FX’s Thief, Lee is a master of quietude here. Even his hand-to-hand combat training with Jaime Sommers (Michelle Ryan), the new Bionic Woman, is subdued and controlled. He’s shaken only when he comes face to face with previous model Sarah Corvus (Katee Sackhoff), who can reduce him to shivers whether in bed or when he’s forced to put a bullet in her.”

Well said, Jon, and congratulations to Will for this well-deserved recognition. While Isaiah Washington stole the headlines, Will Yun Lee often stole the scenes with his quietly convincing portrayal of a tough fighter battling his feelings of love for a woman he could not trust while working for a corporation and cause that had betrayed him many times before.

Will’s scenes with Katee Sackhoff’s Sarah Corvus were especially moving, and provided one of the most interesting story lines of the show. If Bionic Woman returns to the airwaves, hopefully the new episodes will contain more scenes of Will … and hopefully his lady love Sarah Corvus as well.

About Bionic Woman

Welcome to the best site on the web for news about Bionic Woman! Bionic Woman is a re-imagined, updated television drama inspired by the original 1970s show starring Lindsey Wagner. Helmed by the same creative team responsible for reviving Battlestar Galactica on the Sci-Fi Channel, the new Bionic Woman is darker than the 1970s original series but not quite as dark as BSG. The new show stars Michelle Ryan as the title character, Jaime Sommers, and Katee Sackhoff as her nemesis/frenemy Sarah Corvus. Each episode provides Jaime with an opportunity to further adapt to her bionic implants, and plots usually focus on her struggles to raise her teenage sister Becca while fighting techno terrorism and other types of crime. Bionic Woman airs on channels around the world, and in the United States it appears on Wednesday nights at 9:00/8:00 Central on NBC.
