Answer: Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa
Tagawa, born on September 27th, 1950 in Tokyo, Japan, was cast as Shang Tsung. Shang Tsung was in the opening scene when he fought with Chan Kang, Liu's brother. He got the better of Chan since he killed him and sucked his soul into his body. Early on in the film, Shang Tsung met with Kano since he wanted to make sure Kano would get Sonya Blade on the boat which would take the Mortal Kombat participants to the location where the tournament was held. After Liu Kang defeated his first opponent in the tournament, Shang Tsung sucked that opponent's soul into his body. Shang Tsung mentioned that he exercised his right to challenge whomever he wanted to if he fought in the tournament. He selected Sonya Blade since he knew she could not defeat him but he ended up fighting Liu Kang. The result of that battle was Liu shoving Shang Tsung off a ledge to his death due to his falling onto metal spikes. Tagawa guest starred on the TV series "Beyond the Break", "Heroes" and "Walker, Texas Ranger".
