I really appreciate these two actors.

United States of Japan was a very good setup for great world-building, but Mecha Samurai Empire and Cyber Shogun Revolution are the real MVPs of the trilogy. That and I'm seeing quite a bit of Patlabor mixed with Dougram with the mecha designs.

What is COMICS about it????

I was today years old when I found out that Rufus Sewell is britsh, and then maybe 1 month ago I found out that Inspector Kiddo is actually Filippino!

Obergruppenführer Smith

He can smile?

WOW. I did not kno Rufus was British! He does American accent very well!

She was standing next to Dove Cameron (aka Liv/Maddie).

....it's truly unbelievable, the amount of "self-importance" she possess. She's not even in the movie. It's animated and only her voice. Someone please explain this to me ???

John and Kido were the lynchpin's to the show.

I really enjoyed this interview 😊

My theory mina was experimented on by bondrewd

Goodness me, John & Kido are so different in this alternate reality

If you are a father then John Smith's story just becomes too painful and too compelling!

Bruh Kido turned gay, he should have left America when he had the chance. 🤧

Kido harika bir karekter

Rest in peace darling❤

These 2 superb actors , played their sharp , cunning & ruthless characters so well. Whole cast excellent , the show did lose it's way a bit towards the end , but otherwise very good overall.

What a shame that the TV show turned out to be kind of cursed.

is he jew?

Part of me takes issue with Joel de La Fuente's statement of the 'Accidental Immigrant.' I take issue with it because of this video: Why the Japanese were the most DYSFUNCTIONAL Force in WW2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZS4h2uGnNRlaLs [ In the 1930s, the Imperial Japanese Army was overcome by an idea called “Gekokujo.” ... its closest approximation is “insubordination” or “domination of a senior by a junior.” Imperial Japan is seen as fiercely hierarchical, and to some degree it was, but that didn’t stop lower-grade officers from pursuing their own goals instead of supporting their government’s.] This is something we see (more or less) in the series. Additionally, [according to a removed character bio on Amazon X-Ray] Kido was born in 1917 and was 13-years-old when he ran away joined the Imperial Japanese Army---to escape his life as the son of a poor tenant farmer. After spending several tours in China, he climbed the social ladder, got married in 1950 and had two boys. Shortly thereafter, he was sent to the United States. In that way, Joel de La Fuente's is right by calling Kido something of the 'Accidental Immigrant.' It's just complicated.

Kido and john Smith - they're both major bastards, but you cannot help getting pulled in by their characters and their arcs.

Whoa. My dog did not like hearing Joel.

It's kinda relief to see Kido smiling. John Smith speaking with his British accent sounds harmless.

I watched the whole series just for these two ... Not Juliana ,she was the most boring part , felt like i was punished whenever her part comes ...

I love John Smith

Jook Joint was so great that it was cancelled after JUST 2 ISSUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why is Rufus talking like that?

You two are great actors

De Le Fuente could really pass as Japanese. I have family on both sides and can tell you if stepped foot in Narita Airport, people would assume he could speak the language. Honestly had zero clue he was a Filipino American.

With the character Smith, I found that I hated him one minute and I really liked him the second minute. Rufus played the character really well.

These two dudes. The absolute underrated best.

Is Mr Fuente from japanese heritage?

Tremendos interpretaciónes hicieron ambos!. DE LUJO!!

You know an actor is great when they can make you absolutely hate their character

Milk

Rufus was ageless🥰🥰🥰💜

So weird to hear them both with their real accents instead of the ones we’re used to!

Kinda done with comic anything for a while after they made the dude that looks like me all cleaned up bi. Superman if you're wondering.

Both of these actors were phenomenal in the series. Far and away THEY made the show.

Love Rufus Sewell! An underrated, unappreciated and casted mainly as a villain in American movies but this guy is really a brilliant, awesome great actor. I became a fan when I watched Man in the High Castle, every scene of his was captivating and really great acting. This actor needs more movies and tv shows!

Their real voices are so different from their characters! These two are phenomenal, and with the guy who played Tagomi, they carried the show.

John Smith for president 2024.

These two are the best characters in the series, but my god am I not used to kido's regular voice😅

Honestly, they're the Best characters of the show

Okay 👍 nice

Always love to hear Phil talk about his books as he clearly loves what he does and is always very open with his fans. I can recall years ago picking up some of his first stuff and living that someone gave the same little touches to the faces of characters that made them more alive like George did with his art. Some friends teased me about my fanboy joy of ‘ George Light’. Slowly I got them to see that Phil gave little touches here and there that was different than George and unique. When Phil came to Wonder Woman I was over the moon. And his writing impressed me as much as his art. The only reason I returned to collecting some DC after new 52 was that I saw he was doing Superwoman and I was blown away by it!

Who else was rooting for John to take out the communists at the end???

'Auteur'!?! Terrible basic writer.

3:40 - 4:00 I stopped listening and naturally focused to watch Joel get a mint out 😂
