BLOODSHOT Actor 3: Fred & Sho Kosugi

One of the most interesting aspects of making a short film in Tokyo was that I got to meet a lot of actors and many of them were professional or semi-pro. One of these guys was Kuzuki 'Fred' Nakanishi. Fred, as he likes to be known, usually works for the Sho Kosugi Film & Theatre Company. Sho Kosugi is famous for playing samurai and ninja in film and TV dramas. Fred has often played these kind of roles, so playing the doctor in my film BLOODSHOT was a first for him because he got to play a different kind of role and to act in English. His previous role to that was as an extra on 'The Last Samurai' so he was comparing my skills as a director with those of Ed Zwick (?????)
