I have three questions to ask for your opinion on them.
1. Why aren't Japanese-born Japanese actors and actresses popular in America? Sure, native Japanese actors and actresses have starred in many Hollywood movies like "The Last Samurai" and "Snow Falling on Cedars".
But do you guys remember their names viidly? Do you say their names as a daily word or a household word? I can remember the Star Trek actor George Takei's name almost daily but he was born in America, not Japan.
Oh, heck, Only a few foreign-born actors have become prominent Hollywood actors. Including Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Salma Hayek, Charlize Theron, and Jean-Claude Van Damme. As far as I know, even after starring in a few Hollywood movies, Most Japanese actors never became permanent Hollywood actors unlike other foreign-born actors such as Schwarzenegger.
And here is the second and third question.
2. What do you think of Japanese actors' English? Is their English excellent?
3. What do you think of their accents? How do you feel about their accents? Comfortable? Puzzled? Weird?
