Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa

ACTOR / COACH / MARTIAL ALCHEMY / FOUNDER: CHUUSHINDO

Japanese born actor Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa's interest in films began at the age of eight when his mother took him to see Shirley McClain's academy award winning performance in Some Came Running. "Although I didn't fully understand the drama I could sense and see the emotional content in the actors' performances. Being a hypersensitive kid, I thought that my sensitivity might someday be utilized as an actor." The journey from that inspiration manifested into an impressive curriculum vitae of filmwork.  |   MORE

Tagawa's raw powerful sensuality and physical skill on screen is complimented by his deep emotional sensitivity as an actor translates into a laser focused Zen-like acting style that few to date can emulate. Tagawa began his acting career as an extra in Big Trouble in Little China. With his true to life charismatic smile, Tagawa recalls, "It was the only extra job I ever did not because of talent but because of luck and looks. They needed tough looking Asian bad guys." Thus began the notable career of Hiroyuki Tagawa.  |   MORE
