Fan Casting Mao Yenrai in James McTeigue's Cowboy Bebop

The aging, deteriorating leader of the Red Dragon Syndicate and adoptive father to both Spike and Vicious, Mao is a man who built an empire only to watch it crumble. He financed schools and terraforming projects, hoping to turn the Syndicate legitimate, but his violent sons have dragged the family back toward war. Mao knows Vicious will kill him. He accepts this. But first, he tries to convince Spike to return as the rightful heir—because only one son ever truly loved him, and that son walked away.
