Widely regarded as one of New York’s best acting teachers, Lee was profiled, along with 25 other top acting teachers, in Qualified Acting Coaches: NY (Smith & Kraus). Lee has taught at the NYU Tisch School of the Arts, the NYU School of Continuing and Professional Studies (Associate Professor), The Atlantic Theater Company Acting School (Master Teacher) and The New World School of the Arts in Miami (Visiting Professor) where he taught and directed for over 15 years at both the high school and college levels. Most recently, he was selected for the second consecutive year to lecture at the annual Screen Actor’s Guild Conservatory Summer Seminar.

As an actor, Lee has worked in film, TV and theatre, having originated roles in plays by David Mamet, Roger Hedden, Jason Milligan and many others. He was seen on “Law & Order” and the controversial 9/11 drama, “The Reflecting Pool.”

Lee holds a BFA in Drama from NYU and trained as an actor at the Drama Studio, London, where he was the youngest student ever accepted into the program. He spent several years training and working professionally with Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright/filmmaker David Mamet and actor William H. Macy. He recently appeared in Mamet’s martial arts film, “Redbelt.” Lee also holds a third degree Black Belt in Ninjutsu, the Warrior Art of the Ninja and tends to get annoyed when people ask him to pass through walls or dress up like a turtle.

Lee is currently getting his MFA in Creative Writing from the University of California, Riverside, with a concentration in screenwriting and playwriting.
