Ken Yasuda

Ken Yasuda is one of those actors I never quite have figured out, and I mean that as the highest compliment. On the surface he's this gentle, smiling Hokkaido uncle you'd trust to water your plants, but the second a switch flips you genuinely have no idea what he's about to do, and that gap is borderline unfair. Forged inside that ridiculously talented TEAM NACS crew, he can go bone-deep and quietly unsettling in a serious role, then completely come off the rails in a variety show like a different species. Comedy, menace, melancholy, even singing and voice work, the range is a little monstrous. But honestly, the real talent is how he makes you forgive all of it with a shrug, well, that's just Ken. That lovable-chaos quality is the whole magic for me.
