Tales Of The Otori
Cardwitch:
There are two, the one who gets his hair cut off... who played Katsumoto (Ken Watanabe) I think he'd make a great Takeo. He's quite young and he fights fairly well. We must bare in mind that Takeo is a beginner when he starts out, isn't he? And then there was the really good fighter who keeps kicking the crap out of Tom Cruise... Even if it isn't a major role, you have to have him in the movie! He's one of the best actors/fighters in Japan!
I REMEMBER NOW! Shin Koyamada is the one who gets his hair chopped off and keeps saying 'Jolly good!' And the one who teaches Tom Cruise how to fight properly is Hiroyuki Sanada. I can't believe I forgot him... He was in Ring too. I don't know why, but I think you have have those two at least somewhere in the 'Tales of Otori' movies (if there were any) ^_^
I don't know about the monk though... can you think of someone.
Ruby Chan:
Hmm...needs to be fairly young.....japanese/oriental looking.....and needs to look ok with no hair....nope. All I can think of is some chinese actor who I have no name for. Makoto, Makoto, wherefore art thou Makoto?
Cardwitch:
lol! Yeah... Err... *thinks*... Lets think about it while we try and settle of a Lady Maruyama. We haven't tagged her to some yet, have we? Nor have we done one for Takeo really, or Lord Otori, I've just been making suggestions of actors who could do it, but should be stick somewhere even if they don't play it...
Where is Lady Maruyama, and where is our dear friend Makoto?
Let's think, bald Japanese men... *sigh* They've gotta be out there somewhere...
And Lady Maruyama... where's my list of Japanese models?
Ruby Chan:
What about this person for Lady Maruyama?

Cardwitch:
She sounds good, she has the right look for the Lady and she's a good actress... That's perfect! Yeah... Add her to our cast list ^_^

Where the hell is our Makoto, Lord Otori and Takeo??? I wonder if Lian Heran had an idea about who could play the monk. There are a million actors out there and not one of them I can think of to play Makoto! I can't think of any young bald Japanese men...
