Love the Tommy Lee Jones reference! He's literally everywhere on vending machines in Japan.

I've seen the Boss Coffee commercials on Youtube. Finding out about these commercial campaigns that American actors do in Japan is always fun.

This year I've actually seen more Beat Takeshi than Tommy Lee Jones around Tokyo. The "old Yakuza look" remains hugely popular though.

Any ideas how much money he has made from Japanese specific endorsements? I too have seen his face everywhere.
