LastCubScoutAh, my fellow "Evil Asian." Yes, he will be missed. I also remember him as Don Johnson's lieutenant in the first couple of seasons of
Nash Bridges, which was filmed right across the Bay from me.
I once saw a documentary about Asian-American actors called
The Slanted Screen. They interviewed Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa and asked him about how he usually played villains. He stated something like, "People say, 'How come you play bad guys so much?' And I say, 'Well, have you seen many Asian good-guy roles?' I was clear: 'I don't want to play businessmen with bifocal glasses and cameras, so if you're going to give me an Asian bad guy to play, then I'm going to give you the baddest Asian bad guy you've ever seen, and you're not going to forget that I was in the film.'

airsoft guyHe was great in
The Man in the High Castle. He was also in the first episode of
Star Trek The Next Generation during humanity's trial. Fun little bit of trivia there.
