Masatoshi Nagase (永瀬 正敏, Nagase Masatoshi, born July 15, 1966 in Miyazaki, Miyazaki) is a Japanese actor.[1] He is best known in the West for his roles in Friðrik Þór Friðriksson's Cold Fever and Jim Jarmusch's Mystery Train.[2]
Nagase was described by Todd Brown of Twitch Film as "one of the great unsung heroes of Japanese film, a hugely reliable character actor with seemingly unerring taste in projects who - despite a huge body of work - remains largely unknown by name."[3]
Career
Nagase co-starred in Jim Jarmusch's Mystery Train (1989) with Youki Kudoh.[4] He has starred in films such as Sion Sono's Suicide Club (2001),[5] Shinji Aoyama's Mike Yokohama: A Forest with No Name (2002),[6] and Yoji Yamada's The Hidden Blade (2004).[7]
