Hiroyuki Sanada on Bringing 'Shogun' to Life
Poland's Camerimage Film Festival has launched a new award to recognise achievements on the small screen, awarding the first prize to Shogun actor Hiroyuki Sanada.
Hiroyuki will receive the award during the 32nd edition of the festival, which runs from November 16 to 23.
Hiroyuki is one of Japan's most successful international exports, with over fifty film credits. Besides Shogun, he is perhaps best known for his starring role in The Twilight Samurai (2002, dir. Yoji Yamada), which was nominated for an Academy Award.
