     You paper.

     Forbear from attacking me, and I shall defend you from scissors.

   Thought you said you weren’t presenting at Percy Conference 2015. This looks like a proposal right here.

     More reasonable, more inept, more indolent, I have preferred to write proposals for imaginary conference papers.

       Yul Brynner as Kambei. Not Japanese, but Takashi Shimura‘s Kambei shaved his head to disguise himself as a Buddhist monk, and Brynner was bald (plus quasi-Oriental, thanks to The King and I and, depending on your definition of ‘Orientalism’, The Ten Commandments).

         Jon Finch as Lord Taketoki Washizu. Finch may not have been a samurai, but he worked with Alfred Hitchcock, which much surely have required a degree of fortitude and Zen-like focus.
