Guy who played the teacher

I didn't notice, but I'll take your word for it. What made him so handsome? Was it his hair? Looking back on it, this movie could have been made anywhere, since we all know these people. Maybe he reminded you of someone?

I recall the teacher had a rather non-Asian appearance. Not completely, but it was noticeable. For a moment I thought maybe he was one of those Westerners who go over and get a teaching job in Japan!
