Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, a late but not forgotten legend. The name not only brought his acting skills to the screens but also a presence that many will worship and follow for years to come. Sadly, The Man in the High Castle star recently passed away, leaving his teachings and a bold presence behind. The Man in the High Castle is one of Amazon Prime’s most loved series.
Talking to Officer-808, an unnamed interviewer whom Tagawa reportedly met at a lounge, the action star divulged his purest thoughts, briefing the interviewer on what he wanted to do in life.
The late star first expressed his belief that any issues in life can be addressed and solved with creativity. He, however, further quoted that at this particular age, people around are not progressing with enough creativity.
As much as I link breathing and posture to health, we need to be relaxed in our bodies in order to create creativity, rather than having creativity out of tension and adversity. Instead of teaching people how to act, I tell them, Let me help you with your breathing and you will create the most Oxygenation for your body so that your body is at peace with itself. From there, creativity comes. And the system that I developed, it would do that.
The death of the highly acclaimed actor was first reported by Deadline on December 4. Per the outlet, the actor passed away in Santa Barbara. He was 75 at the time of his death. The news was confirmed by his family members, who were with him during the final hours.
