Ken Watanabe

Not many people will remember him as Crusher (he with the teddy bear bomb) in 2000's SPACE TRAVELERS, but no one will forget him in 2003's THE LAST SAMURAI, where his steely portrayal of Lord Katsumoto earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor, and 2005's MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA, where he charmed the stockings off Zhang Ziyi (and practically the entire female populace) as The Chairman.
