**Mitsuo Iwata** is a Japanese actor, best known for his prolific career as a voice actor (seiyū), which has made him an iconic voice in countless anime and video games. However, he has also appeared in several live-action film productions.

His film appearances have generally been in minor or supporting roles, often in genre works. Although he is best known for voicing iconic characters, his big-screen roles have been minor ones that do not define a distinctive style or typical roles. Examples include small parts in films such as *Ju-on: The Grudge* (2002) and its American sequel *The Grudge 2* (2006), where his roles were marginal, often as skilled extras or figures functional to the plot. His live-action career remains a minor aspect compared to his impact as a seiyū.
