Jō Odagiri (小田切 譲, Odagiri Jō, born February 16, 1976), better known by his stage name Joe Odagiri (オダギリ ジョー, Odagiri Jō), is a Japanese actor and musician.
Joe Odagiri was born in Tsuyama, Okayama prefecture. Though he was accepted by Kochi University, he turned it down for an opportunity to study in the United States. He had originally intended to study film directing at California State University, Fresno, but mistakes in the application process landed him in acting classes.[1] He often says that Tokyo is his second hometown.[2]
On December 27, 2008, at a news conference in Tokyo, Odagiri announced his new project. He would be director of a film that would take 11 years to make.
