What a charming man. Can't imagine how difficult it is to do an interview in another language so elegantly 👍

Worth noting that Sanada not only put in an excellent performance as Torunaga, he also did double duty as a producer as well. A hard working actor to say the least.

[Innamoramento]

Just wanted to say my deep appreciation to Stephen Colbert for correctly pronouncing all these Japanese names and terms. It's not easy to pronounce and he nailed it, great interviewer.

[CrazyCatQueen]

I spent most of the 1990s in Japan and have loved Sanada -san since seeing him in various TV dramas. I’m so frickin happy for him ❤

[MrsMacLover]

He just commands the screen in every role. Very charismatic.

真田広之は人しても俳優としても最高に格好良い。


本当に感謝せざるを得ない。

[kekoto]

ずっとカッコいいままで、久しぶりに姿を見れて嬉しい。

未だに日本の礼儀作法をされていて、素敵です。

He was incredible in The Last Samurai. It's one of my favourite films.

[bretfisher]

The great majority of television is childish crap.
Shogun was impeccable, intelligent, dignified, and powerful, and the rare experience of rewarding commercial television. And this man had a lot to do with that fact.

[luciamiller]

Japanese society is so beyond ours in politeness, cleanliness, respectful behavior, organization. This man is very powerful in his elegant communication in a foreign language. Very impressive.

[azusa]

I am Japanese .When I was in junior high school, I remember him leaving Japan to go to Hollywood. I am sure he practice his English so hard including his pronunciation. It is usually difficult to master English especially for an adult, but I am so amazed how great his English is! I am so proud of him!!

[xxxxxsero]

I hope Sanada san and the show win all the categories. Such an amazing production and such amazing performances from the whole cast!

[kookiefly]

He's so charismatic. How he waits and listens, the attentiveness, the respectful air, the aura of peaceful existence - what a man! And he can joke! 😭💗

[DougUnfunny]

He will win a Golden Globe for his performance.

[yasut]

I'm so proud of Hiroyuki appearing on The late show and seeing him and my favorite Stephen together. From Japan

[Nakidim]

So powerful and humble at the same time. I like the spirit of this man 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[GordonBagshaw-GBEnglishClass]

I am an English language teacher. I am so moved listening to Hiroyuki's English. Well done sir. Very well done.

[alison-irml]

に"Sengoku Jidai"と言ってもらえてよかったですね。

[DiandraStarShine]

god BLESS this man!, Mr. Hiroyuki Sanada! I remember him from so many other actor jobs he's had over the decades, ALL in which he was 100% brilliant! & it's so overdue that he gets recognized for his thespian genius!! wtg, sir!! & looking forward to more, we LOVE YOU!!🙋🏾‍♀🙋🏿‍♀📿

[lbazemore]

Americans are enchanted by the self-discipline and empathy Japanese culture imbues in its citizens. That reserve and thoughtfulness is captivating, and something we might emulate individually. Notice the physical distance and grace of Sanada-san and Stephen in their respectful first greeting: no pretense! Simple, profound respect.
