It's impressive how you could analyze her so deeply from just a short conversation where they don't even talk about much. A lot of people are complementing her appearance and not much else because there isn't even enough time to gauge her personality. Also, she's there to promote the show, not to give a formal interview about her background. It's a promotional appearance more than an interview. If you want to learn more about her past work, just Google it.

Shogun might be the one of the best dramas produced over the last 15 years.

It is a somewhat odd thing. But it's not too surprising sadly since American audiences really cannot differentiate between the various Asian ethnicities. The average American can't tell the difference between Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, or any others I can't think of. Add to that the fact that almost no one in America (statistically) speaks Japanese and it's hardly a surprise that Hollywood plays so fast and loose with casting.

@alanfarthing5964

To be fair, it's not just in America. I've seen shows in Japan, especially WWII period pieces where there's an American general or G.I. speaking English to make it authentic for the Japanese audience but the actors they use are often European or English. As long as they're white and can speak the lines, they don't care.
