His theater credits are impressive. 

Per his NBC bio, his theater credits include world-premiere productions of Vietgone at Manhattan Theatre Club. (He was given the Theatre World Award for Outstanding Off-Broadway Debut for this production.) He also performed in Office Hour, opposite Sandra Oh, and Cambodian Rock Band at the South Coast Repertory.

He's also been in some top-tier film and TV projects. 

Most recently, Lee was a series regular in the AMC comedy series Kevin Can Go F**k Himself, where he played Sam.

You might also recognize him from his role in Top Gun: Maverick as Lieutenant Logan 'Yale' Lee. 

His relationship with Quantum Leap goes way back. 

"I remember distinctly in sixth grade, it was my best friend's favorite show, and I thought he was such an adult watching something like Quantum Leap," Lee told EW about how he discovered the original Quantum Leap. "By watching with my friend, I became a fan." 

Watch Quantum Leap Mondays at 10/9c on NBC and next day on Peacock.
