…portraying Japanese characters in Hollywood?
Leonardo Nam plays a Japanese American during World War 2 when he is forced to go to an internment camp in American Pastime. He also plays a Japanese gangster in Fast and the Furious 3.
Brian Tee plays D.K. in the Fast and the Furious 3. …oh wait, he’s half-Korean and half-Japanese. nvm.
The Memoirs of a Geisha...speaks for itself.
James Kyson Lee plays Ando Masahashi in Heroes.
Joon Park plays a Japanese Gangster in Speed Racer.
Linda Park plays Hoshi Sato in Star Trek Enterprise.
5.5 examples may not be a lot to go by….but hey! I’m sure there’s more examples out there…somewhere….over the rainbow. Linda Park is hot though.
No mention of Bi/Rain/Jeong Ji Hoon as Japanese racer Taejo Togokhan? I too was wondering what was up with that….
