The most effortlessly Cool actor out there?


This guy just somehow oozes nonchalant badassness. Much respect. *bows*

I know! I am trying to see if there is any young Japanese actors that have that potential in them...Sakaguchi Tak is the only one I can find that has something, but he lacks the soulfulness that Sanada-san has in his eyes.

I just think he is a great actor and he seems to be a very polite, nice man with a good sense of humour.

It's almost like he's channeling Toshiro Mifune's character in Yojimbo...

I agree, Sanada is not only a great actor, he's got such a strong screen presence that he dominates everyone else whenever he's on screen.

reply

I agree, but how does he do THAT? I mean, he's good looking, but that's not it.

Is it how he handles himself, is it his eyes? His voice? Combination?

What ever it is, I think it would be difficult for him to play an evil character, because he seems just too nice!

I'm a new fan and I love his English work, and I'm just now learning about his Japanese films. Cool dude.

Recommend you to see some of his old works made in early to middle 80's in Japan.That young man can even beat up Jackie Chan in the terms of marital arts.Besides,he was really good looking at that time,now beyond recognition.

Definitely

Boycott movies that involve real animal violence! (and their directors too)

I've love to see Sanada do a remake of Yojimbo or Musashi.
