Career
Sen Mitsuji was born to a Japanese father and an Australian mother in Sydney. He attended and graduated from Sydney Boys High School.[2] He moved to Tokyo where he became a model before dipping into acting.[3] His first major acting role was in the short lived YouTube Premium series Origin as Shun. Of the series he stated, "I’d never seen anything written [like it]. And that’s exciting—to do something where you’re not conscious of having to avoid any sort of trope that exists already, just free to interpret it as you’d like, without being constrained [by] what’s come before you." Mitsuji has further voiced his love of sci-fi and fantasy, which he has stated are very similar in their paradoxical mix of escapism and incisive commentary.[4] In February 2020, Mitsuji starred in a recurring role on the second season of the Netflix science fiction series Altered Carbon.[5] In the same year, Mitsuji starred as Henry Foster in the miniseries adaptation of Brave New World. His character was described as "an Alpha Plus in every way".[6][7]
