Ken Watanabe
Lord of the Samurai, Protector of Geishas
By Richard Corliss

Majesty is a quality in short supply in movies, or anywhere. So it was easy to
spot when Ken Watanabe strode into the 2003 Tom Cruise film The Last
Samurai. Watanabe's regal posture, his severe good looks, the appraising glint
of his stare, all expressed an aristocracy of machismo. Here was a 19th
century Japanese man of honor, and just the 21st century Japanese actor to
embody it.
Gravitas may come naturally to a man stricken, as he was, by leukemia at the
age of 29. "An awareness of death is something everyone experiences," he says,
"but I went through it at a much younger age than most." Then there's all that
practice he had, playing noble samurai, mostly in TV dramas. "Perhaps I
possess some natural trait, but there are also skills and mannerisms that I've
learned by taking on period roles."
In December Watanabe will be seen as the Chairman in Rob Marshall's movie of
the international best seller, Memoirs of a Geisha—another protective power
figure, another meaty part in a Hollywood mega-film. When he landed the Last
Samurai role, he wanted to "make the Japanese proud." This time he
concentrated on translating the director's vision. "I didn't go in thinking
that I was filming a Japanese story," he says. "I went in knowing this was Rob
Marshall's world."
Surely it's time for this charismatic character actor to star in a movie,
which he is doing—finally!—in Memories of Tomorrow, about a salaryman who
develops early Alzheimer's disease. This Japanese film may have a small
budget, but, Watanabe notes, "My contributions as an actor to a $1.5 million
film or a $150 million film are about the same."
At 45, Watanabe has arrived. As much as any politician or author, he is now
the face of Japan to the rest of the world. It's a face any nation could be
proud of.
