However considering there are still huge holes in the toku fansubbing library you can imagine that very few of those smaller Japanese dramas get a look in - if at all. About the only time I'm able to follow a toku actor is through toku productions, like if they play a different character on another show or get a cameo. Which is a shame as a lot of those non-toku projects they move to sound pretty interesting.

...are you sure you guys are looking in the right place?...there are WAY more JDramas that have been subbed than Toku shows. That's one of the advantages of being shorter than Toku shows, it's less of a time commitment to subbers and since they are mostly filled with well known and loved actors and idols instead of up and coming stars like Kamen Rider or Sentai there is an even brooder community of subbers to rely on.

Sure there are only a handful that I know have been officially subbed for American audiences(Crunchy role has around five Japanese drama's most of the dramas they sub are Korean) but if we are strictly talking officially subbed tv shows for overseas audience that's more than Toku(I think...)

Good Drama has tons, and you can also find the names of drama's they are in through their Dramawiki and google it yourself. Not saying you halve too but following them is easier than you think.

or if you want you can just look at their Good Drama pages(though they don't always have every subbed show for an actor), for example
