Hiroyuki Sanada has often been credited, in his younger days, as either Henry, Harry or Duke Sanada. His martial arts film career led him in contact with Michelle Yeoh, who he later starred with in Sunshine. He also has a long standing friendship with Jackie Chan, but didn't star in a film with him before Rush Hour 3.

Sanada has joined the cast of the ABC show Lost in 2010 during its sixth and final season. He was offered the role without being given a speech; instead he was just told the character's background. He then watched through the entire series before getting a script. [1]
