68-year-old actor Yasunori Danta will be appearing on Kuroyanagi Tetsuko's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi), which will be broadcast at 1:00 pm on July 16th.
He played Fujiwara no Kaneie, the father of Fujiwara no Michinaga, in last year's taiga drama " To Dear Radiance (Hikaru Kimi e) ". After receiving the Purple Ribbon Medal, he was touched when the emperor spoke to him directly at the Imperial Palace. He said, "Taiga dramas and Asadora are good for learning history," but then he remembered that he played the role of the man who banished the emperor. "This is bad," said Danta, panicking.
He was 22 years old when he dropped out of university and moved to Tokyo from Kyoto with the aim of becoming an actor. His parents supported him, telling him to "do what you want to do." His mother is now 103 years old and has forgotten her son's name, but she sometimes mutters "Yasunori." He talks about his feelings for his mother and his father, who passed away at the age of 59. Some of his private life, which is somewhat mysterious, is also revealed.
