Those of you who saw Hiroyuki Sanada's new character on last week's season premiere of Lost might have recognized the actor from such English-language films as The Last Samurai, Sunshine and Rush Hour 3. But Sanada's career actually spans over 40 years, and Japanese projects such as The Twilight Samurai, The Ring and Detective Zame have made him a household name in Japan and garnered him international acclaim.
IGN TV: Were you a fan of Lost before you joined the show?
Hiroyuki Sanada: Yeah, of course. I haven't watched all of the episodes, but most of them. But yeah, I was a big fan.
