He was in alot of movies, especially older movies playing Japanese admirals and such I think. He was also in the movie 7 Years in Tibet if I'm not mistaken.

Character actor. One of those people you recognize but rarely know their names. I believe he was one of the Japanese Admirals in that mediocre Ben Affleck movie "Pearl Harbor." Even as a character actor Mako was probably twice the actor Affleck will ever be.

Man, sad news.

He also did a lot of T.V. work.

In fact I remember at least a couple of Magnum pi episodes he did.

Definitely will be missed.

I have, but it's been a long time ago.

He was even in, "Under the Rainbow":

http://imdb.com/title/tt0083254/

Chevy Chase classic. :2thumbs:

The movie that, "...has it all...drunken midgets, nazi spies, princess leia, and a host of off-colour jokes sure to offend..."

From the list imdb.com has for Mako you can see he was a staple of 'classic' television stretching from the "60s to the "90s:
