Thanks for your contributions AR.. Rest In Peace.

The way he distinctively would say "Misster Ta-ka-gi.." - Unforgettable.
That movie, one of my fav, was definitely about his portrayal than a heroic rescue by the protagonist.

Yes, truly. I will remember him more for his role in Die Hard. That scene when he accidentally bumps into Bruce Willis and suddenly changes his stance to pose as one of the hostages... bloody brilliant that was!

RIP.
