Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa Dies: โ€˜Mortal Kombat, โ€˜Last Emperorโ€™ & โ€˜Man In The High Castleโ€™ Actor Was 75 Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, the actor best known for his roles in the Mortal Kombat films, The Last Emperor and The Man in the High Castle, has died.

Cary loved Tagomi and loved that I saw him in the role. He called us brothers -- not least because I was born in Japan like he was -- and talked with great insight about Eastern philosophy. Truly one of a kind and unforgettable. #HighCastle deadline.com/2025/12/cary...
