Grown-ups, next clue:

Most of Clint Eastwood's "spagetti westerns" were "cowboy copies" of this guy's films.

Every so often is fine. And it's "Godzirra". And I saw your lips moving when you talked, so that's points off. :D

Actually, that's a joke. Japanese people have a problem saying "L's". The original 1954 version (in Japanese) was titled "Gojira".

Thank you Rusty, but that's the director's name. This ain't him. But you're damned close. :aok

Our mystery guy was easily Korosawa's biggest star.

This guy had a screen presence that few could equal.

Yeah, that and the bar scene in "Air America" where the two guys on stage are singing "Horse With No Name". :rofl :rofl

007Rusty, stop playing with your food and finish this thing off. ;)

Toshirō Mifune
:aok

Japanese actor who achieved more world-wide fame than any other Japanese actor of his century. Toshirô Mifune was born in Tsingtao to Japanese parents and grew up in Dalian. He did not set foot in Japan until he was 21. His father was an importer and a commercial photographer, and young Mifune worked in his father's studio for a time after graduating from Dalian Middle School. He was automatically drafted when he turned 20, and enlisted in the Air Force where he was attached to the Aerial Photography Unit for the duration of the Second World War.

Truly one of a kind. For your visual amusement:

(Yeah, I know, the whole "spraying fire hose" thing at the end is over the top, but it's still a beautiful Iaido move :aok)
