| This is Issei ishida's page
|
This page is about and dedicated to Issei Ishida who in my opinion is a very good and interesting actor who also has a somewhat edgy/rebellious/punkish look to his appearance (just look at that picture on top for example). He gives each of the roles he plays quite an unforgetable performance. Unlike many other popular actors, he has more than 5 facial expressions and is very versatile and is able to express a wide wide range of emotions. (if you only look at the ending scenes for Under The ROof 2 , there are at least ten kinds of emotions which he expressed all differently and convincingly.) and after seeing Seijia no Koshin and only the first few episodes for Lipstick, Issei's undoubtedly one of the best, if not the best, young actors around. Although not your typical conventionally good-looking actor, u must admit (or perhaps it is me who must admit), he has charms and a coolness all his own. I have decided to do a page on him b/c he deserves more (there are very little on him on the net.unlike other actors i like such as Takeshi Kaneshiro, Takuya, Yutaka, etc).
