For his role in "Tokyo Vice," Ansel Elgort learned Japanese, spending more than four hours a day studying and immersing himself in the language. "It was such a cool thing to have to do – a great challenge," the actor, who portrayed Tokyobased American journalist Jake Adelstein, told Access Hollywood. Ansel and costar Ken Watanabe also shared what it was like to meet the reallife Jake and how they took what they learned into their roles. "Tokyo Vice" Season 1 is streaming now on HBO Max.
