I felt very lucky to be able to play him.&quot;The award-winning actor is also an accomplished writer and director. He is currently working on his next screenplay.&quot;Becoming an actor and also a director was something I could never really imagine,&quot; Lee said. &quot;But once I started working and these roles became a reality, it was sort of like the flow of my life that kind of kept coming in a way that was very unexpected to me.&quot;He added: &quot;I think as long as this is my reality, all I can do is work hard and put my all into these roles.&quot;&quot;The Acolyte&quot; is now streaming on Disney+.
