Kevin Durand
In 2001, Park, who was 23-years-old at the time, was cast as Tom Sawyer, the lead character in Broadway's "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", a theatrical adaptation of Mark Twain's novel. The original Broadway production also starred Kristen Bell, Linda Purl, Jim Poulos and Kevin Durand. The short-lived show ran for just 21 performances, opening on April 26, 2001 before closing on May 13, 2001. However, Park's performance earned him the Theatre World Award for outstanding Broadway debut in 2001.
