Japanese actor
Haruo Nakajima was a Japanese actor, best known for portraying Godzilla in twelve consecutive films, starting from the original Godzilla until Godzilla vs. Gigan. Wikipedia
Haruo Nakajima is best known to me as Godzilla, of course, and Gaira, the green Gargantua.
But he was also one of the villains in the Seven Samurai. Amusingly, he usually has a bit part in Godzilla movies. In the first Godzilla movie, he is the reporter with the pencil behind his ear.
