Charles Bronson would have made a fantastic Inspector Tawashi. B)

With perhaps Marcel Marceau as Chief McClaw. :D :D :D

I only have 2 words for you.............The Crow!!

I loved this movie and think that Brandon Lee would have been a fantastic actor if he wasn't killed on set :cry: and yet they were able to finish the film.....If the directors of their estates allowed thier image and voice to be recreated, the sky is the limit. But, I'd still like to see REAL actors, not ghosts, playing human roles.

what's the big idea of having hollywood actor playing japanese roles? it's just weird. (except for that first suggestion on Skunk. that was an excellent choice)

leave it for the asian actors to do it.

Maybe it's because alot of the main characters in Astroboy actually don't look that asian :P

What age was Tobio? Wasn't he 9 or 10 y.o.? That would probably be the age of the person playng both Tobio and Astro would have to be.

I don't think there is any real bias to where the actors are from but simply who we think would be a good example of the charecters and how they should be portrayed. I personally am not farmiliar with lots of asian actors. The closest I go I think is Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu & Kelly Hu (I think the last 2 would be classed as American but you know what I mean). Speaking of the forever bruised Jackie Chan, if you have seen his early movies when he played a police officer, you will know what I mean when I suggest him as Tawahsi. He can have such a serious exterior but be great for comic relief. Yeah I know the look is all wrong, but you can forgive that of Jackie....can't you?????
