Actor Born: 1905 in Japan Death: 1985 in Japan Biography:Japanese actor "Kamatari Fujiwara" was not the sort of performer who'd make the fan magazines or gossip columns, but still he enjoyed a stellar reputation among international art-film enthusiasts. Fujiwara was a member of director "Akira Kurosawa"'s stock company, first appearing in this capacity as the assistant to dying bureaucrat "Takashi Shimura" in "Ikiru" (1952). The actor also appeared in supporting roles in such classics as "The Seven Samurai", (1956), "Yojimbo" (1961) and "Red Beard" (1965). In most of his films, the very able "Kamatari Fujiwara" tended to be overshadowed by more charismatic actors like Shimura and "Toshiro Mifune", but he was always dedicated and unwaveringly professional. One American admirer of his work, director "Arthur Penn", cast Fujiwara as the Artist in the Chicago-filmed "Warren Beatty" vehicle "Mickey One" (1965). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
