Kim Kap-soo (; born April 7, 1957) is a South Korean actor. Since his acting debut in 1977, Kim has had a long career on the stage, in television dramas and film. In addition to acting full-time, he also has his own master class acting studio.
Career
Kim Kap-soo began his acting career in 1977 as the first generation of the Hyundai Theater.
Kim Kap-soo gained recognition for his outstanding performance in the 1984 play "The Silence of the Master," which portrayed the life of Han Yong-un (Monk Manhae). Kim dedicatedly portrayed the role of Han Yong-un for three consecutive months at the Seoul Sesil Theater.
He further solidified his reputation with roles in movies like The Taebaek Mountain and "Horrible Love." In 2000, in the KBS1 drama Taejo Wang Geon, Kim Gap-soo shines as a loyal royal scribe, showcasing his talent and establishing himself as a standout in the series.
He, who is also the head of the theater company 'Actors' World', took time between his appearances in movies and dramas to perform the charity play 'Tongbuk-eo' for the underprivileged in 10 cities across the country, including Incheon, Gwacheon, and Pyeongchang, at the end of 2008. He found the source of his strength to be a 'veteran' in movies and TV dramas in his 25 years of theater experience.
