Who’s the Asian Temple boss on ‘Lost: The Final Season’?
Are we supposed to surmise he’s Japanese because he keeps a Bonsai Tree and won’t speak English because the language tastes bad in his mouth? (Ok, fine. He speaks Japanese too.) 
(This is from tonight’s episode ‘What Kate Does”)
So…he’s also barefoot. Why is everyone barefoot? Is that supposed to add to the mystery? Or make them more earthy and hippie-like? Eh. Iz cool. I’m down. Let’s see what happens…
(So is this one!)
This new badass Temple boss is Dogen, played by veteran actor and only Japanese actor ever to perform with the Royal Shakespeare Company Hiroyuki Sanada. You might recognize him from his roles in films such as The Last Samurai, Sunshine, and Rush Hour 3. Sanada will next star opposite Anthony Hopkins in James Ivory’s The City of Your Final Destination, out in March 2010.
