Spotlight on Alumni Yuki Matsuzaki
Hard work and TOA training was recognized when Edward Zwick cast alumni Yuki Matsuzaki for The Last Samurai in 2003. He booked roles in the films Drunken Sword (2005) and Roku (2005). Clint Eastwood then cast him as Nozaki in Letters from Iwo Jima (2006). Yuki also was cast in the TV shows Heroes and Better Off Ted (2006).
In 2009, Matsuzaki was cast in the supporting role of Kenji alongside Steve Martin, Andy Garcia, Alfred Molina and Aishwarya Rai as a member of an international dream team of detectives in Pink Panther 2 (2009). He was most recently cast in the role of Yoshi Takamura for the premiere episode of Memphis Beat (on TNT: June 22, 2010), and has just finished production for the romantic comedy Everything You've Got in the supporting role of Tori with Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Jack Nicholson, and Owen Wilson.
