As a Japanese-American, I was saddened to hear that actor Mako died over the weekend of cancer. He was 72. For those of us in the Japanese-American community, he was very much "our Laurence Olivier." Many of you probably remember him for his work in THE SAND PEBBLES (Oscar Nomination), PACIFIC OVERTURES (first production Stephen Sondheim musical on Broadway), and PEARL HARBOR. His is a great loss but he lived his life with tremendous courage, artistry, and class.
