Yukiyoshi Ozawa

Born in San Francisco in 1974 and carrying one of the most famous surnames in Japanese classical music, he chose acting anyway. That takes nerve. At 183 cm he could coast on imposing roles, yet he never pushes his size at you. He won a newcomer award in 2003, and then landed hardest as the deadpan hero of the Long Long Man gummy commercials.
