Sessue Hayakawa, (早川 雪洲) nato Kintarô Hayakawa (Chiba, 10 giugno 1886 – Tokyo, 23 novembre 1973), è stato un attore, produttore cinematografico e regista giapponese. Fu una grande star del cinema muto hollywoodiano, diventando in seguito un caratterista di grande levatura, famoso a livello internazionale. Hayakawa fu candidato all'Oscar come migliore attore non protagonista per l'interpretazione del severo colonnello giapponese Saito ne Il ponte sul fiume Kwai (1957) di David Lean, che gli valse anche una candidatura al Golden Globe. Attivo fin dal 1914 nel cinema muto, ha lavorato soprattutto all'estero. In particolare negli Stati Uniti - dove divenne la prima star cinematografica di origine orientale - e, in seguito, in Francia. Era sposato con l'attrice Tsuru Aoki. Wikipedia
