   Mako RIP
  Chararacter actor Mako passed away today. He was 72. He started out in television back in the 1960's, appearing on so many shows it's difficult to list them all - I Dream of Jeanie, MASH, Hawaii Five-O. The list goes on. He was nominated for an Oscar for his supporting role in the Steve McQueen film The Sand Pebbles. He played the wizard in Conan the Barbarian. He played the socerer in Highlander III. He even played a role in a Takashi Miike film The Bird People in China. And he did voice acting in various animations, Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, Duck Dodgers, Avatar: The Last Airbender. His most recent role in a major film was in Memoirs of a Geisha.   
  Somehow, I thought this thread might have something to do with FF7. I know I'm going to get some flak from 2-3 people for that.Anyway, I'll never forget Mako from Sidekicks.   ;  "Samurai Jack" (2001) TV Series (voice) ....
