Comments

Judith McNeill Mar 21 2009 9:51 am Congradulation Yakusho San, on your first self directed film. You did a wonderful job, you are and will continue to be an amazing actor. I look forward to any new films coming out and really hope you have a lead role in the new Martin Scorsazee (sp?) film about the history of Catholic missionaries in Japan. It sounds fascinating. Kudos to you - you gorgeous, intelligent and talented man. I know this will make it to the Tokyo Film Festival for October, 2009 and I have no doubt you will play a role in that festival for many years to come. I'd love to be there this year and have the priviledge of shaking your hand in congradulations.

Sincerely, Judith Kathleen McNeill, Calgary, Alberta.
