I have seen him in different dramas and movies and he is a good actor.
Sometimes I feel that he doesn't put enough effort in his role but most of the time, he is convincing.
He was really good in Letters from Iwo-Jima and I like Gantz (didn't really like Gantz 2 but it wasn't because of him).
I have seen him in Stand up!, Freeter,Ie wo Kau, Ryusei no Kizuna (I find him really good in this one especially in the last episode) and Yamada Taro Monogatari. And I have watch some episodes of Abunai Hokago and he is really young in this one but he manages to play it well!
