Shogun

A television series produced by the Disney/Hulu/FX Networks

Years in the making, I was privileged to work on SHOGUN, the amazing series streaming on Disney’s Hulu and FX networks starting February 27 2024. What a great experience! Shot in Vancouver in 2022, I got to work with a huge and talented group of Japanese and western cast and crew. I’m in five of the ten episodes. The attention to detail was amazing. The wonderful writing and producing team Justin Marks, Rachel Kondo, Eriko Miyagawa and star/producer Hiroyuki Sanada were focussed on telling this huge and wonderful story in the most authentic way possible, and it shows. Sanada-san was on set every day, making sure that no details were overlooked. I was always able to go to him with questions or to make small adjustments to lines in our scenes. All of us are very proud of the result.

I don’t yet have a lot of production shots or clips, since it is all deeply under wraps till each episode airs, but I have been having a wonderful time reuniting with the team in New York and Tokyo for various press events and a wonderful cast party that Disney generously hosted in Tokyo. You can check out my cast page here. I hope you watch the series and enjoy it as I enjoyed being part of it. You can also see a short clip of part my scene in Episode 1 with Sanada-san on Instagram here.
