Great conversation! It's refreshing to hear Hiroyuki Sanada's perspective on his journey to Hollywood and how he paved the way for future generations of Asian actors. 'Shogun' was an amazing show and it's clear he's still passionate about his work.

This interviewer is very good at interviews! Although I have never heard an interview even in Japanese about what Hiroyuki Sanada was thinking since he was young, this interviewer brought out a number of important points from Hiroyuki Sanada in English. I finally understood why he was trying out dramas without action scenes and he did dancing, singing. I think this interviewer really likes Hiroyuki Sanada. Great job! Anyway, I can't wait for Shogun season 2!

Call him Sanadasan with respect instead of Hiro.
