MRP SPOTLIGHT: Yuka Sano
This week’s client spotlight is on gorgeous & multitalented actress/producer, Yuka Sano!
Yuka comes all the way from Japan, but has been living in Los Angeles for quite some time as she makes big strides in her career as an actor/producer. She’s had extensive training in her creative craft from Ivana Chubbock Studio, UCB, and The Groundlings. She is also a graduate of Joanne Baron/DW Brown Studio, currently seeking representation. She’s worked on a lot of exciting projects this year, most recently including The Nice Guys (Warner Bros) and new Netflix original series Love created by Judd Apatow. She’s also involved in a new production coming up entitled Jack Zero and action comedy short Bomb on which she was both an actor and producer.
Something people may be surprised to know about Yuka Sano is that she was the first Miss Asia-USA for Japan in their 35 year history! She was also chosen for the Miss Photogenic award. Additionally, she has also worked in screenwriting, directing, and producing her own movies. Yuka is a specialist for Japanese sword fighting as well as combat for the acting film; she often performs Japanese sword fighting on stage, Japanese sword dancing, and Japanese traditional dancing. She has done many kimono modeling assignments for magazines and shows as well. You could say she has a pretty broad and dynamic background in the creative industry!
She’d love the opportunity to work on some of her favorite TV shows, Into the Badlands, Arrow, Agents of SHIELD, and Game of Thrones. She is also a huge fan of the new Star Wars film The Force Awakens. Some actors she wants to work with include Merly Streep, Leonard DiCaprio, Shane Black, JJ Abrams, Jennifer Lawrence, Quentin Tarantino, Darren Aronofsky, Ryan Gosling, and Russell Crowe to name a quick few. In the future, she’d like to win an Academy Award for acting. “I’m not dreaming too much, am I?” she playfully asked. We don’t think so! She’s definitely going places in this industry, and her dynamic experience makes her a prime candidate for such growth.
