早川雪洲

早川雪洲（日语：早川雪洲／はやかわ せっしゅう Hayakawa Sesshū，英語：Sessue Hayakawa，1886年6月10日—1973年11月23日），本名早川金太郎，出生於日本千葉縣安房郡千倉町（現南房總市），青年時赴美國芝加哥大學攻讀經濟學，後來活躍於好萊塢等歐美電影界，並成為20世紀10年代中期至20年代晚期的超級巨星，風靡了許多女性觀眾，其地位堪與同時代的查理·卓別林、范朋克等人相提並論。早川雪洲也是第一位在西方電影界達到頂峰成就的日本人和東亞人。晚年參與《桂河大橋》的演出，並獲提名為1957年的奥斯卡最佳男配角奖。 雖然早川雪洲卓越的演技從無聲電影時代到有聲電影時代皆得到了西方人的肯定，但卻因1915年在電影《The Cheat》中扮演一個冷酷殘忍的日本青年而遭受祖國日本輿論的猛烈抨擊，並被扣上了國恥大帽，此事讓愛國心極強的早川雪洲深覺遺憾與不平。二戰結束後，早川雪洲積極地回到日本活動，參與了多部日本電影的演出。1966年因妻子青木鶴子過世的影響而正式息影，1973年於東京都千代田區神田的杏雲堂醫院因腦溢血病逝，享壽87歲。 早川雪洲對於自己的演技如此評論： 1914: O Mimi San 1914: The Courtship of O San 1914: The Geisha 1914: The Ambassador’s Envoy 1914: The Wrath of the Gods/The Destruction of Sakura-Jima or The Wrath of the Gods – Lord Yamaki 1914: A Tragedy of the Orient 1914: A Relic of Old Japan 1914: Star of the North 1914: The Curse of the Caste 1914: The Village ’Neath the Sea 1914: The Death Mask 1914: The Typhoon – Tokorama 1914: The Hateful God 1914: The Vigil – Kenjiro 1914: Mother of the Shadows – Running Elk 1914: The Last of the Line – Tiah - Gray Otter's Son 1915: After Five – Oki, the Valet 1915: The Famine – Horisho 1915: The Chinatown Mystery – Yo Hong 1915: The Clue – Nogi 1915: The Secret Sin – Lin Foo 1915: The Cheat (1915) (The Cheat) − Hishuru Tori/Haka Arakau 1915: Temptation – Opera Admirer 1916: Alien Souls – Sakata 1916: The Honorable Friend – Makino 1916: The Soul of Kura San – Toyo 1916: The Victoria Cross – Azimoolah 1917: Each to His Kind – Rhandah 1917: The Bottle Imp – Lopaka 1917: The Jaguar’s Claws – El Jaguar 1917: Forbidden Paths – Sato 1917: Hashimura Togo – Hashimura Togo 1917: The Call of the East – Arai Takada 1917: The Secret Game – Nara-Nara 1918: The Hidden Pearls – Tom Garvin 1918: The Honor of His House/Honor of the House – Count Ito Onato 1918: The White Man’s Law – John A.
