Hello. I am a permanent resident of the United States.
I want to be famous in America.
I heard that there are not many people who play Japanese roles in the American movie industry, so I'm aiming for it, but how can I get hired ？

Please tell me if you know more about this.

I need to join a production company
and audition for a role that will give me a part.

I know someone who played a Japanese soldier in "Letters from Iwo Jima". I haven't seen it.

But you have to be fluent in English like the Americans.

Some of us have joined Acter's union
but that doesn't guarantee we'll get the part.

While there are many Japanese who think like Topy, the demand for Japanese roles is quite low.
In the end, I think it is normal, not targeted and tough.

It is not that easy to get a role because many Asian actors apply for the role of a Japanese actor. Some people get their chance by joining a production company, auditioning, and working as extras. The guy Ototsuan is talking about also had to work very hard to get the role.

Otoko-an says he had to work very hard to get the role, but unfortunately he has returned to Japan now. He wrote a blog for 17 years from 2000, so I think it will be helpful. You can read about the hardships of Hollywood.

Talent Agency, not Production Agency.
Commercials and specialized ？ actors also all have managers. Without them, they can't even audition.

You can have your dreams
but don't eat them!

＞ I heard that there are not many people playing Japanese roles in the American film industry, so they are targeted ・ ・ ・

It is too shallow to think that Chinese or Korean actors are "playing Japanese roles because there are not many Japanese people".
Do you know what it means that the main geisha role in Memoir of Geisha was not Japanese ？
Many Hollywood entertainment film people do not want "Japanese in Japanese roles".

If you want to have a successful career as an actor in Hollywood, English-American conversation （ language skills ） are a must.
If you just want to be "famous", anything is possible ？

Luck, connections （ good agent etc ）, talent, all are necessary.
