Mostly minor unnamed roles. Many of his roles relate to being a migrant worker in Korean society. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk said that it was "hard to find good foreign actors in Korea" and that he cast Tripathi because of his emotional acting capabilities and fluency in Korean. Following the series' international success, Tripathi's follower count on Instagram increased from 10,000 to over 2.5 million in a matter of days.


His IG now has reached 3.8m followers. I'm glad he's finally got the recognition now. That must hurt when the director said 'hard to find good foreign actors' and that he only got casted to be an emotional support.

The guy can certainly act! I was rooting for him and enjoyed his emotional range.

Im guessing there arent many foreign actors who are fluent in Korean!
