Finished filming on 'Yakuza Hunter 2' a little while ago. At one point, during an action sequence I took an elbow to the face that cut up the inside of my mouth (it's action- Sh-- happens) but overall it was a really good shoot. Particularly since orginally, I wasn't even supposed to be in the film.
I had just grown out a beard for a different role (a project I was doing with an actor named Andy Koji), and when the main actress, ( saw me with it, she suggested to the director that he write me into the film, and from there what started off as a single scene turned into an ongoing role. (Kind of like what happened to Ray Park- the guy who played Darth Maul- in Star Wars). At this point, I've got speaking lines (all in Japanese) in at least 5 or 6 different scenes in the film, and I'm also going to be returning for the third part of the Trilogy.
Guess I shouldn't be pissed at her for elbowing me in the face...
