Hot Asian actors

When I was in Malaysia a week ago I went to see Red Cliff 2, the sequel to the John Woo epic battle film Red Cliff 1 (it will be released in the West as a combined version of both. I haven't seen Red Cliff 1 but I sure would like to!). It featured a plethora of Asian acting talent (Tony Leung, Hong Kong acting god of Infernal Affairs, Hero and 2046, Chen Chang of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and Zhao Wei, a Chinese actress and pop singer whom I've never seen before but whom I quite like) and some of the most beautiful people I've ever seen (look up the model Lin Chiling who played Tony Leung's wife - she's going to be huge). The highlight for me, however, was the intoxicatingly hot half-Taiwanese, half-Japanese Takeshi Kaneshiro, who although was a lead wasn't the lead lead, but nevertheless surpassed all of the above:


Holy mother of god. And he's a great actor.
