Re: hawaii's worst actors
Just a short moderation note here. Please keep this discussion to the confines of local TV actors or personalities and not movie actors or stage actors who have not appeared on local TV. The discussion area is for "Hawaii Television".I'm still here. Are you?

Re: hawaii's worst actors
Well...let's see...where do I begin?!
I doubt that Dog is instructed to 'act'. My guess is Dog is just being Dog. What you see is what you get! He seems to be a colorful character in real life which is probably why he was approached to do the show.
We have an extremely small pool of good actors in Hawaii due to limited opportunities. Acting classes go only to a certain level. People serious about the profession are pretty much forced to move to the mainland. The constant turnover makes my job tough! Acting is a learned skill that needs constant practice. Even academy award winning actors continue with private acting coaches.
Another problem for commercial actors in Hawaii is over-exposure. Seeing the same person appear in several ads for different advertisers dilutes the effectiveness of those ads. Once an 'actor' has appeared in a couple of commercials during the course of a year, s/he won't be hired again until those commercials are no longer airing. Casting directors here, whether local or mainland based, have no choice but to audition people with no acting experience.
A local client of mine made an astute observation after producing a project that was cast and filmed in Los Angeles. Speaking about the actors she saw in the casting session, she said..."Their worst is equal to our best.".
Just my 2 cents...

Originally posted by tutusueI think he had some early, Big Island ties but don't think he's considered a 'local boy' like Jason Scott Lee is.

Originally posted by MadAzzaOh. Well, he's still pretty bad though, isn't he? Somewhat wooden and expressionless.
That said...good actors can be cast in roles that aren't right for them just as bad actors can be cast in roles that are perfect for them. When a bad actor is cast in the wrong role...double

Re: hawaii's worst actors
Originally posted by tutusueWell, Mel announced early on that he wants this thread to stay strictly within 'Hawaii Television'! It seems it's starting to wander OT to films with actors, good or bad, with Hawaii ties, big or small!
I'm trying to remember who the McDonald's actor is, but I'm comin up blank. I can't think of what commercial(s) he was in.
I think the worst local TV actors are 1. children in ads and 2. teenagers in ads. And I mean almost all of them.
