Though seeing as he'll be wearing a mask most (maybe all) of the time, plus probably be "dubbed", why bother wasting any money on a famous (well, quasi-famous) actor at all?

I mean, they could pretty much just go down to the local sushi bar and, like, hire the big guy in the back who chops up the squid.

I could not agree more. That was brilliant. Seriously.

Meanwhile, Ken Watanabe is over 50-years-old! (You might as well cast Sonny Chiba in the role!) Do you guys really envision Shredder as being so ancient? I've always seen the character as being right around 30-ish. (Maybe 34 at the most.)
