I saw the movie Rhapsody in August...didn't really enjoy it but I only ordered the film because I wanted to hear Richard speak Japanese, that I think he looked very nice on the DVD Jacket. :mrgreen:

There is a site for Hapa-Haoles called Eurasiannation.com and they were discussing an interview Richard had done some time ago about his Japanese ancestry....but that was some time ago so I don't know if the discussion is still there (some boards delete old posts). Interesting that he and the Japanese prime minister have a joke between them about how much they resemble each other.

Off to get the dinner ready for hubby.
