I find Abe Hiroshi looks like Toshiro Mifune... same kind of powerful man, tall, and sarcastic sense of humour...

Toshiro Mifune was Akira Kurosawa's fetish actor and maybe one of the greatest in the history of Japanese cinema. I still can't get his performance in The Seven Samurais out of my head....

If you can put aside the facts that this movie last for more than 3 hours, that it's in black and white and that it dates back from 1954, I'm sure you'll like it. (personally speaking, it's one of the rare few movies that I've watched more than 10 times).
Back to topic: sorry but I can't see any similarities between Toshirô Mifune and Hiroshi Abe.

Abe performed a scary role in "My lover is a sniper". His character was so cold and threatening in this movie ...
And I thought that i never saw him playing this kind of role ; he was completely different from the usual roles he performed... He was so convincing , he performed this character so well that i was scared and disconcerted !!!
As I always thought, he really can play any kind of personage, with the realism that it requires.
Without a doubt he is an excellent and talented actor that we don't have nowadays any more.

@ kao-chin -- Ooh thanks for the movie tip. I should go check that out. I think Abe has range, I have no doubt he can play any kind of role convincingly. And there's something about him that gives off that "cool-danger vibe" which allows him to play an antagonist/antihero. Like toshiro mifune, he has this intensity (like-you're-before-a-serious-actor type of intensity). That's why I really find it amusing when he does comedy. Big Smile

What was the character Abe performed that you liked the most Zooey ?

I can't say I have a favorite because I always enjoy his performances but I liked him as Ueda in Trick and the title character in Kekkon Dekinai Otoko (heavy on the sarcasm and deadpan delivery of punchlines). Big Smile
