	USATODAY.com - Japanese star Ken Watanabe follows way of the samurai (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Though Watanabe is an unknown in the USA, he has been playing samurais (so many that he "can't count") in Japanese movies and television productions since the mid-'80s.
		Earlier this November morning, Watanabe coincidentally tuned in a Japanese cable channel on his hotel TV and caught one of his samurai performances from a miniseries shot 15 years ago.
		Watanabe was born in the snowy countryside of Niigata, Japan, to parents who worked as teachers.

		Nowadays, Watanabe is not as concerned with being “politically correct” as being aware of the stereotypes that he has been accused of portraying in the past.
		Watanabe says that his foreign accents are contrived — he speaks no Japanese, and his only exposure to Asian accents is that of his older relatives.
		Watanabe is now vigorously applying stage make-up and singing the opening song, “Something for everyone, comedy tonight…” His alto voice reverberates throughout the back of the stage.

		Sixteen Candles star Gedde Watanabe is not the Donger in real life.

		Keaton says they only play for beer ("As do we" replies Watanabe) and that afterward they go outside and pee for distance (to which Watanabe replies that they do it for accuracy).
		Watanabe is also very good as the beleaguered executive who's stuck between a rock and a hard place.

		Though a few major roles followed soon after, Watanabe ultimately fell victim to the comic typecasting machine, rendering his talents muted in favor of the stereotypical "humorous foreign-guy" roles in which he would repeatedly stumble through the cursed paces of his former footprints.
		After his breakout role in Candles, Watanabe continued to riff on his likeable but mechanical Japanese-guy persona with humorous roles in UHF (1989) and, perhaps most notably, Gung-Ho (1986) and the short-lived television series of the same name that followed.
