IMDB.com has up and coming actress Maya Hazen listed as being born in Tokyo, Japan, and her first big movie role was a supporting turn in the Hollywood horror remake “Shutter”, where she played a Japanese character name Seiko. Or at least I think the character is supposed to be Japanese, going by the name. (I haven’t exactly seen the remake, just the original, and it wasn’t that great to begin with, so I didn’t bother with the remake. I call it my “guilty by association” motto to approaching movies.) In any case, Maya Hazen seems to play a lot of Asian roles, which is kind of strange, as she doesn’t look, well, very Asian to me. But nevertheless, we think Maya Hazen is worth keeping in mind.
