Set in Gilley's, the film featured the singer on the sound track and in the movie alongside stars John Travolta and Debra Winger...
...year career, Kaneshiro?who speaks five languages and has made films in four countries?has trained his chameleon-like talents on a remarkable array of characters. In Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai's Fallen Angels, he played a mute who rode the carcass of a pig like a cowboy. He made love to an HIV-infected teen in the blockbuster Japanese TV miniseries God Please Give Me More Time. In Returner, he played an orphaned assassin-for-hire, and he was a bowling-addicted stockbroker in another Japanese TV series, Golden Bowl. "I don't let myself follow...
