Akie Kotabe has long been sought after for his compelling presence on screen, and has built an impressive career playing a variety of roles in television and film.

Notable film roles include Dead Man in Joe Lynch's Everly, an action/thriller starring Salma Hayek, appearing on the big screen in Matt Reeves's The Batman & Neill Blomkamp's Gran Turismo, as well as starring in the independent films Clay's Redemption and Decrypted.

TV credits include playing Diego in Silo, Ben Nakamura in The Man in the High Castle, Akira Takahashi on Mad Men, and providing the voice of Kyan in the hit animated series Go Jetters. The versatile actor has also featured in the Emmy award-winning prime-time shows CSI: Miami and Without a Trace, and has enjoyed appearing in series ranging from Marvel Studios' The Falcon and The Winter Soldier to Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Akie, who is fluent in English and Japanese, was born in Lansing, Michigan, and has lived all around the world - including long spells in Europe, Asia and South America - spent his childhood years growing up in Austin, Texas. His desire to act was sparked at the age of 20, when a spur-of-the-moment whim saw him successfully audition for a student film while he was studying to complete a degree in Computer Science at the University of Texas.

Akie caught the bug and moved to Los Angeles in 2005 after working in theatre in Japan for a year. Within a few months, he landed the main role in a national commercial for Cingular Wireless, directed by Oscar-winner Errol Morris, and hasn't looked back since.
