My Take
I filed Takao Osawa under handsome ex-model and was wrong. The drifter of Midnight Express became the surgeon stranded in the Bakumatsu era in JIN, then the general Ou Ki in Kingdom, a role he rebuilt his body for and carries on presence alone. On The Silent Service he produced as well as starred. At 58 he is playing his biggest parts yet.
