"Beat Takeshi" Kitano

Yep, he's a TV regular in Japan and I've seen every film he's made; quite an actor/director tho' he's no Mifune or Mizoguchi (yet) but really good at portraying dark, fatalistic and violent roles, 3 certain draws for Japanese filmgoers
He has a genius IQ apparently
Hopefully "Dolls" is a departure from that norm, I'm sure if he leaves his staid formula there is real brilliance waiting "Violent Cop" his film debut is quite a classic tho', Sonantine is a great yakuza flick as well
He's meant to be quite a wild character off screen too and almost died in a drunk driving crash on a 2-wheeler a few years back...
