Artist Roger Minami is now in his third career. He was a renowned dancer/entertainer who was featured in the film "Annie" as The Asp; featured on Broadway with Liza Minnelli in "The Act" and was producer/director on his 14 award winning productions for Merv Griffin at Resorts International Casino in Atlantic City.

Roger was winner of the Best Male Performer in Las Vegas for three consecutive years and winner of the Atlantic City Entertainment Awards on 7 different occasions for his productions at Resorts.

Roger was a featured performer on Dick Clark's daily television show "Where The Action Is" for two years before going to Las Vegas to be the star of "Bare Touch Of Vegas" which ran for a record 8 years. Minami toured the world with Liza Minnelli for two years, performing in all the capitals of Europe and South America.

Minami has also produced 3 production shows for Sun City in South Africa and 3 production shows for various venues in Japan. His show for Paradise Island Casino in the Bahamas ran for four years.

In 1996, Minami decided to give up the hectic pace of show business and took up residence in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where he has embarked on his third career... painter.

With homes in Santa Monica, California, Vancouver, and Puerto Vallarta, he has a varied source of inspiration for his work. His paintings reflect the color of Mexico combined with the flair of show business and has provided yet another creative outlet for this multi-talented man.
