Did you notice that my character “Toshi” was Zainichi too in the movie “The Ramen Girl”? Originally Toshi was Japanese, but the director and the writer and I talked about and changed into Zainichi character. #TheRamenGirl #Zainichi #在日の表象
There were some voices from the creative team of The Ramen Girl saying “Why is Korean actor playing the love interest of Brittany in this movie? We should’ve hire a Japanese actor!”
So, the director and the writer really knew me and what zainichi is. They said “Okay! Then let’s just change the character into Zainichi!” Then, my character being Zainichi even became a key to a romance between Brittany’s character and mine. The story got more interesting.

かの名作のドキュメンタリーを最近よく観る。コッポラ、パチーノのインタビューが面白い。パチーノはほとんどクビにされかかっていたらしい。監督のコッポラだけがマイケル・コルレオーネ役には彼しかいないと信じてくれたのだと。そのあとは歴史が教えてくれる。
コッポラにもパチーノにも拍手。
フレドー。わかるかな。ソニーとマイケルの間に挟まれてる次男。ジョン・カゼイルって役者が演じてる。ディア・ハンターとか狼たちの午後とかでもすごくいい味出してる。盟友のパチーノ曰く、ジョンのあだ名は「百万個の質問をする俳優」だそうだ。そうやって役を深めてあの名演を生み出した。
