Robert Scott may be one of the hardest-working Westerners in Japanese show business. The native Southern Californian appears in a host of Japanese TV dramas and variety shows as well as radio programs. He's even acted in a Godzilla flick.
"The Japanese like a good-looking face, and I guess that's what I have to work on," he laughs.
It's a face that stands out on any Japanese stage or set. Scott is a strapping, blond-haired, blue-eyed Southern Californian, who also happens to be a fluent speaker of Osaka-ben, the unofficial dialect of Japan's entertainment industry. "I played the android in the Godzilla movie and they wanted buffy foreigners. That's the big thing right now."
