Kang Shin-il (born November 26, 1960) is a South Korean actor. Kang
graduated from Kyung Hee University with a degree in electronic
engineering, but he soon put aside his studies and spent most of his
time in Daehangno, Seoul's theater district, where he formed a troupe
called Testimony that performed at smaller venues. In 1985, he made
his acting debut in Chilsu and Mansu, and soon gained fame as a stage
actor in plays such as Kimchigook Goes Crazy and Chronicles of Han. He
appeared onscreen for the first time in the 1988 film adaptation of
Chilsu and Mansu and became a prolific supporting actor in Korean
cinema and television (notably in Kang Woo-suk's Public Enemy
franchise), while continuing to do theater. In 2007, Kang was
diagnosed with liver cancer, but after recovering from surgery, he
resumed his acting career.
