教会で神父役をするダニエル Just call me Father Dan
This is one of my favorites.
I played the part of a priest for TV drama back in 2005.
Those are real vestiments and we shot in a real Church up in Saitama, just north of Tokyo.
The resident priest advised me on proper movements of the hands, etc.
Having been raised Catholic, this was quite memorable.

FUJIの「億万長者と結婚する方法」で藤原紀香さんと
オラの家宝の一つ。
藤原紀香さんと結婚する役になったのは２０００年。
こんな貴重なスナップになんとサインまでも書いてくれた。
当時、紀香さんは英会話を勉強する事に夢中だった。
シーンとシーンの間にいろいろと話が出来て光栄でした。
もう一回、紀香さんとドラマしたいね。
This one is going to become a family heirloom. It’s a Poloroid snapshot of Norika Fujiwara, one of Japan’s best known actresses, and me as we walk down the aisle in the comedy-drama “How To Marry A Millionaire”. I’m supposed to be rich Texas oil man and she plays an agressive gold digger with a rather colorful past. I was just about to kiss the bride when a hit-man takes a pot shot at her. That cuts short the ceremony. I never did get that kiss. Darn.

オラは『のだめ新春スペシャル』に出たのですが、
モーツァルトの格好をする役だったから、皆さん、分かりましたかね？
かつらをすると、以外と分からないような気がする。
ロケーションのためフランス、パリの郊外まで行ってきたよ。
上田さんも格好良かった。
Another keeper. I went to France for a wirlwind location shoot in late 2008 for “Nodame no Cantabile”, a comedy-drama derived from a popular comic series here in Japan. I played an eccentric French noble who is completely infatuated with all things Mozart — including his fashion.
Anyway, I think I was in France for all of four days. It was a very difficult shoot for me. I had terrible jet-lag and we worked on location from six in the morning until past midnight. I couldn’t say my lines properly, I was so exhausted. But it was good to see France again.
