Fake Act Friday-Chow vs. Watanabe

Photobucket
Hong Kong's Yun-Fat Chow vs.Japan's Ken Watanabe

No fake act here. This is a pretty rare case in which only time will tell. Everybody knows Yun-Fat Chow, better known as Chow Yun-Fat (don't ask me) for his role in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Pirates of The Caribbean... but my pick would have to be Ken Watanabe as the more bankable and skillful Asian Hollywood actor with his roles in Last Samurai, Letters from Iwo Jima and Memoirs of a Geisha... I think Kensaku is a couple of American epics ahead of Yun-Fat. However, both very successful and both very good at their craft.
