Tetsushi Tanaka
Actor
60 years (Feb 18, 1966)Suzuka, Mie Prefecture, Japan
Tetsushi Tanaka is, by now, a veteran Japanese actor with the unglamorous consistency that long careers are made of. 'Last Samurai Standing' is another title that gets mentioned. The career opened quietly, the way most long ones do. The career has been split between cinema and television rather than settled in either. The single most recognizable credit is 'Like Father, Like Son', playing Satoru Suzumoto.
