[Discussion] Yusuke Yamamoto

I hope this was alright to do but I felt Yusuke Yamamoto deserved a discussion thread. He's just amazing in all he's done. From Kamen Rider Kabuto to Tumbling to Ouran. He's been in many dramas/movies and shines in each ole. Whether he is the star or plays a minor role he's unforgettable to me.

If this isn't okay remove the thread. As said I just thought he deserved to have his own thread. ;3

So far I have only seen him in Hana Kimi and a few episodes of Kamen Rider. I really need to see if someone is streaming that, I want to finish it. I love his acting! :)

Thanks! I'll check that out. ^^

@ unbrokenwords : Nice idea, I was wondering why there was no thread for such an amazing actor (and I was too lazy to start a new one). I do agree, he shines in every single role. I fisrt saw him in Hana Kimi, where he was so cute, and i totally fell for him in Tumbling and Atashinchi no Danshi. When I heard he would paly Tamaki in the OHSHC, I was so happy. I think that no other actor could have been this character; his performance in Atashinshi no Danshi made me thought like that. Don't know if you have seen him in Ninkyo Helper and Rinne no Ame. He is doing a great job too. I like his character in NH, and his performance is astonishing in Rinne no Ame. Definetly one of my favorite actor, and his smile always makes me feel sooooooooo happy!

Yusuke is one of my all time favorite Japanese actors. I just adore his smiles and expressions he conveys in all his characters. I felt GTO didn't use hsi acting o the full potential it could be. While I enjoyed Saejima, i felt they needed more with him so here is to the special doing just that. otherwise I feel the role of Saejima as pointless. Aside from my rant I love this guy so much and I feel he'll be an amazing actor if not already. He'll always have a special play in my heart. <3

I recently found out that Yusuke played the main role in the Japanese adaptation of the Shakespearean play 'Troilus and Cressida' directed by the renowned Japanese theatre director Ninagawa Yukio. Director Ninagawa had this to say about the all-male cast play and Yusuke:

wrote: “Troilus and Cressida” is the 26th installment of the “Sai no Kuni Shakespeare Series” and the 6th production from the very popular “All Male Series”, where the entire cast is made up of male actors. Regarding the play, Ninagawa commented, “I’m nervous. It was an intense rehearsal, but everyone did a good job. I’m really looking forward to it.”

Yamamoto, who plays the lead character Troilus, expressed, “Starting tomorrow, it’s going to be the real show, I want to put my spirit into in and present a wonderful stage play for everyone.” Ninagawa, who seemed to have pushed Yamamoto hard during rehearsals as Yamamoto said, “For the last scene, I received a thousand knocks and was depressed that I couldn’t act it out well enough. However, I realized that it’s not about the ability or technique of the actor, but about pulling the audience in with my feelings.” Ninagawa then added, “I want him to surpass those actors like Oguri (Shun) and (Fujiwara) Tatsuya.” Yamamoto humbly responded, ” No no, I want to learn by looking at the backs of senpais…”
