Today, I had the distinct privilege of meeting actor Minori Terada. Terada-san stars in Kihachi Okamoto's
The Human Bullet (1968), but he is also known for his supporting parts in such films as Okamoto's
Red Lion (1969),
Station (1981), Hayao Miyazaki's
Castle in the Sky (1986), Akio Jissoji's
Tokyo: The Last Megalopolis (1988), and
Ultra Q: The Movie (1990). On TV, he guest-starred in
Ultraman (1966-67) episode 14 as the assistant truck driver.
Terada-san was a lot of fun to talk to. We spoke about Akira Kurosawa movies and Japanese movies in general. Suffice it to say, his acting resume is extremely impressive, so there was no shortage of topics to discuss.
