Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Mortal Kombat actor, dead at 75


  Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, the Japanese-American actor famed for his role as the villainous sorcerer Shang Tsung in the "Mortal Kombat" franchise, passed away Thursday in Santa Barbara at the age of 75.

Tagawa died from complications of a stroke while surrounded by his children, his family confirmed. Over a career spanning more than four decades, he appeared in over 150 film, television, and video game projects, beginning with an uncredited role in John Carpenter's 1986 cult classic "Big Trouble in Little China." His breakthrough came in 1987 with Bernardo Bertolucci's "The Last Emperor," which won nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and helped establish him as a formidable presence in film, often in villainous or martial arts-focused roles.

He is best remembered for portraying Shang Tsung in the 1995 "Mortal Kombat" film, reprising the role in the 1997 sequel "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation," the 2013 web series "Mortal Kombat: Legacy," and the 2019 video game "Mortal Kombat 11." His other film credits include "Licence to Kill" (1989), "Rising Sun" (1993), "The Phantom" (1996), "Pearl Harbor" (2001), "Planet of the Apes" (2001), "Memoirs of a Geisha" (2005), and "47 Ronin" (2013).

On television, Tagawa starred as Trade Minister Nobusuke Tagomi in Amazon's "The Man in the High Castle" from 2015 to 2018 and played Hiroki Watanabe in Netflix's "Lost in Space" from 2018 to 2021. He also held recurring roles on "Nash Bridges" and "Revenge," and made guest appearances on series including "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "Miami Vice."

Tagawa lived on Kauai, Hawaii, with his wife, Sally, where they raised their three children, Calen, Brynne, and Cana. He is also survived by two grandchildren.
