Sessue Hayakawa
Sessue Hayakawa (10. juni 1889 – 23. november 1973) var en japansk og amerikansk Issei (japansk immigrant) skuespiller, der medvirkede i amerikanske, japanske, franske, tyske og britiske film. Hayakawa var den første og en af de få asiatiske skuespillere, der fandt stjernestatus i såvel USA som Europa. Mellem midten af 1910'erne og slutningen af 1920'erne var han lige så kendt som skuespillerne Charlie Chaplin og Douglas Fairbanks. Han var en af sin tids bedst betalte stjerner; tjente 5.000 dollars om ugen i 1915 og 2 millioner dollars om året via sit eget produktionsselskab i 1920'erne. Han medvirkede i over 80 film og har to film i US National Film Registry. Hans internationale stjernestatus skiftede både stumfilm og talkies. Af hans engelsksprogede film er Hayakawa nok bedst kendt for sin rolle som oberst Saito i filmen The Bridge on the River Kwai, for hvilken han modtog en nominering til Oscar-prisen for bedste mandlige birolle i 1957. Han optrådte også som piratleder i Disneys schweiziske familie Robinson i 1960. Udover sin filmskuespillerkarriere var Hayakawa teaterskuespiller, film- og teaterproducer, filminstruktør, manuskriptforfatter, romanforfatter, kampsportkunstner og en ordineret zenmester.
