Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa was an actor that everyone would immediately recognize, but perhaps many would struggle to name. Known best for his portrayal of Shang Tsung in 1995’s ridiculous Mortal Kombat movie, and then for voicing the character in the games since 2013, Tagawa had multiple other defining roles across an extraordinary career. Deadline reports he died on December 4, following complications from a stroke.
