Thanks to the influence of his Korean stepmother who married his French father, Deporte learned Korean in France from the age of five, and is fluent Korean.
His debut was Tamra the Island,
Director Yoon Sang-ho says, "Although there were concerns about Deporte because he was a foreigner and a complete rookie, he absorbed coaching and cues very quickly. And because he is so Korean in his thoughts and behavior, he seems like a Korean with blond hair".
It is the first time that a foreign actor was cast in one of the lead roles in weekend TV drama.
