He had a small role in the action movie Live Free or Die Hard, and he appeared in Walter Hill's movie Bullet to the Head (2013), as Detective Taylor Kwon, opposite Sylvester Stallone. Kang played an FBI agent in Jet Li's film War (2007), and was featured in the movie Forbidden Warrior as Doran, a son of Genghis Khan. An unexpected fan favorite, Kang was brought back to the Fast & Furious franchise by Lin, appearing in Fast & Furious, Fast Five, Fast & Furious 6, and the short film Los Bandoleros. In portraying Han, Kang emulated 'the laid-back cool of the Paul Newmans and Steve McQueens' with 'an added Pitt-esque obsession with constantly snacking'. As production progressed, Lin expanded Han to a significant supporting character who proved 'emotionally affecting' and provided 'a more delicate touch than the Fast movies had seen before, or since'. Kang's role in Tokyo Drift was originally written as a one-off character in an almost straight-to-DVD release: an opportunity for a rapper to make a cameo, tossing his keys to the main character (portrayed by Lucas Black). Kang reprised his role as Han Lue in the Fast & Furious franchise, first appearing in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Lin's second movie. He was one of the stars in The Motel, in which he played Sam Kim. Kang's first major role was in Better Luck Tomorrow (2002), directed by Justin Lin, in which he played Han Lue, an aloof gang member. While in college, he chose acting over law school, a decision that disappointed his parents, who worried that the lack of Asian Americans on American television meant a lack of job prospects. Kang attended the University of California, Riverside. He moved to Barstow, California, while in high school. He was raised by his Korean mother and African American stepfather in Gainesville, Georgia.

Kang was born in Clarkston, Georgia, to South Korean immigrant parents.
