The Walking Dead star Steven Yeun toplines Minari, Lee Isaac Chung`s drama that is in contention for six Oscars including one for Yeun in the Best Actor category. He says was blown away by the story`s simplicity and truthfulness. Minari is the story tale of an immigrant family`s struggle with cultural identity when they move to the raw and rugged terrain of Arkansas. It talks of what happens when an outsider`s Great American dream collides with reality, and is set in the US of the early eighties.

While receiving accolades for his brilliant portrayal of an ambitious and hopeful man, Yeun shares that he initially didn`t think he would fancy the script. "I`ve read some other things in this vein and most just touch on the surface, so I honestly didn`t expect I`d be that interested", he said.
