Recommended Posts

Lets see how far from the actual answers we can get...

 

Please nominate possible actors for Japanese FMV clips...

Here's a couple to get you started.

 

Dean Cain (is apparently 1/4 Japanese!)

Don "The dragon" wilson (Bloodfist, Bloodfist II, Bloodfist III, Bloodfist IV, Bloodfist V, Bloodfist VI, Bloodfist VII, Bloodfist VIII)

Sho Kosugi (Almost every single ninja movie of the 80s!)

Robert Ito (Qunicy MD)

Yuji Okumoto (Karate Kid 2)

I know you can use almost any Asian actor and pretend they are Japanese, but I would like to see these guys in RA3.

If only this fella was still alive.

(Only you would pick Dean Cain, Mr Boyle!)

 

But in the very good likelihood we'll get the 'any-asian-looking-actor is good enough' hollywood mentality for RA3... how about these other possibilities?

 

I guess Sandra Oh would be ok

Or Yun Jin Kim...

I can't stand her as an actress... but based on this dress, I guess some of you wouldn't mind lucy

Personally I would prefer Zhang Ziyi from Crouching tiger...

But even though I have no issue with Grace coming back... (She wasn't bad in C&C3 - not enough lines to be bad!)

What are the chances that will get stuck with this infamous actress?

Tia Carrere, could be a possibility, since she'd be "cheap". :P

They could give her an interesting role as an Allied officer of Japanese descent, trying to do her job under a cloud of suspicion, but I doubt that they want to touch on any actual controversies such as that.

 

I think they'll find actual Japanese actors and actresses for the Empire roles, though.

 

In any case, Tia is the same age as Kari Wuhrer and so is presumably also "outside the demographic."

That would be great sub-story. Where some sort of sabotage is connected to whichever Japanese-American character, but it turns out to the result of the all-american-allstar... and the 'Hawaiian' Admiral is vindicated and crucial for the counter-strike.

 

The idea will work for any faction really. But is visually better for the Asian looking people, rather than the different accents of Allied/Soviets. I hope though, our President (I'm not American, I'm allied and after all - I'm always the good guys!) being the maniacal type means that the US are the bad guys, and the Russians are portrayed as the noble side. After all they went back and changed time.

Michelle Yeow has nice legs - for kicking!!!

I don't know why I didn't think of her.

 

Who's Pamela Woon - not even a quick google search made it obvious (quick=1st page).

 

(I'm guessing that if you consider the casting power of previous games, they will try to get Asian actors that are recognisable to the general public, which most of yours are not... of course I'm Australian and that's a different kettle of fish.)

Most of these I just searched for Japanese actresses with the right look, they are meant to be famous but I have never heard of them. Pamela Woon has had video game acting experiance before. You see, she was the model who play Leiong Leang in Zero Hour.

EA will probably get actors from sci-fi movies/series, like they did with CnC3. (so yes, Masi Oka and James Kyson Lee are definitely probable possibilities)
