Taye Diggs



Actor. Born on January 2, 1972 in New Jersey. The eldest of five children, Diggs grew up in Rochester, New York, where he attended the School of the Arts. He was spotted by a talent agent while performing in a showcase during his senior year at Syracuse University, where he earned a BFA in musical theater. Diggs made his Broadway debut in the Tony Award-winning musical Carousel. In 1996, he landed the role of Benny, an opportunistic landlord, in Jonathan Larson's groundbreaking musical, Rent.

Djimon Hounsou

 What can I say, this brotha is just a heap of chocolate fine! The first film that I saw him in was Amistad, he was incredible, and I have love him ever since.
~Peace

"Model-turned-actor Djimon Hounsou was seemingly plucked from obscurity by producer Debbie Allen and director Steven Spielberg in 1997 to portray Joseph Cinque, the leader of a slave ship mutiny, in "Amistad.” His critically acclaimed performance led to supporting roles alongside Hollywood A-listers in historic dramas like “Gladiator” (2000) and the African-set adventure “Blood Diamond” (2006), which earned the actor significant awards and nominations. Unsurprisingly, Hounsou’s towering frame and expressive features were tapped for a number of forgettable good vs. evil actioners, but he made the strongest mark in character-driven dramas like “In America” (2002) and Julie Taymor’s “The Tempest” (2009), where he revealed the uncommon sensitivity and emotional range behind the powerful, commanding presence."

Ken Watanabe

Ken Watanabe was born on October 21, 1959 in Niigata Prefecture, Japan. In 1978, he moved to Tokyo to pursue his career as an actor. He drew attention of the critics when Yukio Ninagawa, a famous Japanese director, chose him for the lead role in one of his plays even though he was still an acting student. He made his first TV appearance in 1982 but his real career breakthrough came when he was chosen to play the lead in the Japanese national TV drama series called "Dokugan ryu Masamune"; he played a samurai leader hero, that made him a household name in Japan. In 1989 when he was shooting a movie in Canada, he collapsed because of Leukemia. He made a miraculous comeback and in 2003 "_The Last Samurai_" where he co-starred with Tom Cruise pushed him to a center stage of Hollywood. "The Last Samurai" is his 15th movie. He is a fanatic fan of Hanshin Tigers (Japanese professional baseball team) and Kobe Steel rugby team. He loves noodles.

On personal note...I think he is one fine brother! Samurai me baby!
