Picture Bride (1995)

The story of 16-year-old Riyo who journeys to Hawaii in 1918 to marry a man she has never met, except through photographs and letters they have exchanged.

Notes: This is a wonderful picture that was even shown at the Sundance Film Festival, dedicated to the memory of over 20,000 “picture brides” that went to Hawaii from Japan in the early 20th century. Cary had a supporting role as the husband of one of these brides, and gave a very emotional performance. This was a terrific role for him and definitely showed everyone that there is much more to this man than bad guy roles in action movies. A definite must-see!
