Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as Trade Minister Nobusuke Tagomi
Update: Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa’s Trade Minister Nobusuke Tagomi is experiencing our reality where the Allies won WWII.
The Man in the High Castle has taken over the big parking lot near Concorde Pacific in Vancouver’s northeast False Creek today with blue-screen sets of Japanese-controlled San Francisco circa 1962 and a dozen or more period vehicles circling the lot. Based on Philip K. Dick’s award-winning novel, Amazon Prime’s 10-episode series imagines an alternate reality where the Japanese and Germans win World War II and divide the United States into three regions — the west coast as the Japanese Pacific States, the Rockies as a neutral zone and the east coast as the Greater Nazi Reich. Produced by Ridley Scott and Frank Spotnitz (The X-Files), the series stars Alexa Davalos as Juliana Crain, Rupert Evans as Frank Frink, Luke Kleintank as double agent Joe Blake and Rufus Sewell as SS Obergruppenführer John Smith.
