Biography

La JMDB mentionne la participation de Tatsuo Saitō à deux-cent-soixante-et-un films (majoritairement japonais, plus quelques films américains ou coproductions) comme acteur, à partir de 1925 (donc pendant la période du muet) et jusqu'en 1967. En particulier, il tourne à de nombreuses reprises pour le réalisateur Yasujirō Ozu, la première fois en 1928, la dernière fois en 1950, avec Les Sœurs Munakata. Il contribue également à plusieurs films d'Heinosuke Gosho et d'Hiroshi Shimizu, entre autres. Parmi ses films américains, son plus connu est Lord Jim de Richard Brooks, sorti en 1965, où il interprète le vieil artilleur Du-Ramin (un de ses derniers rôles), aux côtés de Peter O'Toole dans le rôle-titre.

Toujours selon le JMDB, Tatsuo Saitō est en outre le réalisateur de cinq films, trois sortis en 1953 (dont un aussi comme scénariste), les deux autres sortis en 1957.

De son côté, l'IMDB énumère seulement cent-vingt-deux films comme acteur et deux comme réalisateur (voir les liens externes ci-dessous).
