| Career: |
Born in Tokyo, Japan, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa got his first big break as an actor when he was cast in Bernardo Bertolucci's feature film The Last Emperor. He went on to roles in Rising Sun, Mortal Kombat, and The Phantom. He also starred in the series Nash Bridges on the CBS Television Network. Science Fiction fans will recognise him from his appearances on Babylon 5, Star Trek TNG, and his recurring role in Space Rangers. Tagawa, a U.S. Army brat, was born in Tokyo and lived in various cities while growing up. His father was in the army, stationed at Ft. Bragg, N.C., Ft. Polk, La. and Ft. Hood, Texas. His mother was an actress from Tokyo. The family finally settled in Southern California, where Tagawa began acting in high school. He was an exchange student in Japan while studying at the University of Southern California. He has recently been involved off-screen in addressing student groups (at SFSU and Stanford). He has also been coaching the martial artist portraying Shang Tsung in the Mortal Kombat Live Tour, and in his free time, developing his new form of Martial Arts, called Chun Shin. |
