Hiroyuki Sanada Enthusiast
Misty’s recommendation for new fans: If you wish to pick ONE movie to see what Hiro is capable of, you should watch “The Twilight Samurai”, 2002 Japanese movie which was nominated in Oscar Foreign Language Film category. Many directors and producers point to this movie as the reason to cast him.
