Born in Okinawa, Japan to a Japanese-American dad and a Korean mom, Brian Tee was raised in California and studied acting at the University of California, Berkeley.
Tee's career started to take off when he was cast in "Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation" in 2004, which was followed in 2006 by a role in Vin Diesel's "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift."
He was a villain in Marvel's "The Wolverine" with Hugh Jackman, and a security chief in "Jurassic World" with Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, and BD Wong.
In August 2015, Tee and Taylor announced the birth of their daughter, Madelyn Skylar.
Even though he has worked on many major movies, it is for his role as Dr. Ethan Choi from the "Chicago" franchise in which he starred from 2015 to 2022, that Tee is best known. But unlike the hapless Dr. Choi, he has been lucky in love.

Brian Tee and Mirelly Taylor Have an Adorable Daughter Named Madelyn Skyler
In August 2015, Tee and Taylor announced the birth of their daughter, Madelyn Skylar. Originally, the actors wanted to call their daughter Brielly, a blend of their first names, Brian and Mirelly. They changed their minds, and Tee explained why:
“We thought better, dreaming of the day when she’s 13 years old, coming at us with a, ‘Really guys? … Really?! You really hybrid-ed your names and named me Brielly?’ So Madelyn Skyler (MadSky) was born and is the magical miracle of our lives.”
When she was born, Tee described their daughter as an "angel baby" with an old soul, but since then, Madelyn Skyler has grown quite a lot.
Madelyn Skyler is now in school, and even has her own Instagram account. From the photos Taylor sometimes posts of her family on Instagram, it is clear that Madelyn Skyler is growing into a lovely young lady who will make her parents proud.
