Ken Watanabe (渡辺 謙, Watanabe Ken, born October 21, 1959), is a Japanese actor of numerous roles in both Japan and America. His most well-known ones includes General Tadamichi Kuribayashi in Letters from Iwo Jima, Katsumoto Moritsugu in The Last Samurai (for which he got nominated for Best Supporting Actor in the 2003 Academy Award), Ra's al Ghul in Batman Begins or so he makes you think, Mr. Saito in Inception and Doctor Ishiro Serizawa in the 2014 Godzilla film.
On February 9, 2016, Watanabe had been diagnosed with stomach cancer and would postpone scheduled performances to undergo necessary treatment.[1]
Roles
- Drift
Notes
- A Japanese MSN article claimed that Watanabe would be voicing Drift in both the English and Japanese language versions of Age of Extinction.[2] When the film was released in Japan, however, Drift was dubbed by actor Kiyomitsu Mizūchi. Whether Watanabe's Japanese performance was replaced or if MSN misinterpreted the facts (as Watanabe does speak Japanese in the English version of the film) is unknown.
