Tadao Tomomatsu is a wonderfully talented actor, comedian, and entertainer.   You might have seen him in such Movies as Inspector Gadget or on such TV Shows like Banzai or Heroes.

Tadao grew up in an area of the midwest which could boast few inhabitants of Asian heritage.   As self-defense against being signaled out in a negative way, Tadao developed a quick sense of humor and a wide range of voices.   Just ask him to do his Louis Armstrong and you'll never be the same.   These outstanding abilities soon led to his participation in theater productions and the discovery of a love for the field of entertainment.

The son of a preeminent food scientist, Tadao was encouraged to continue his academic career which resulted in his attaining a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies from the University of Iowa.   During these early years, he was employed as a Chicago DJ as well as in several other eclectic jobs.

Tadao moved to the West Coast in 1992 in order to take on a production assistant position for the then-new series Friends.   The following years saw his active involvement in many aspects of the entertainment business (see his  ACTING RESUME).   This work included participating in the world´s first internet 24/7 broadcasting station, CyberRadio.   Since then his biggest role to date has been as a Lead Actor in USA Network´s Banzai Movie Friday and Banzai TV United Kingdom as Mr. Shake-Hand´s Man.   This unique role has lead to the development of a worldwide fan base.   Last year he was a guest star as Detective Furakowa on NBC's Heroes.
