• Filming TV in Beijing - [Acting]

    2008-05-24

    Just three days ago I finished my last day of filming for this TV show being filmed in Beijing. I actually only filmed three days for this one - and it was basically one day a week, so I didn't have a huge part, but it was still pretty cool. I was able to meet a fairly successful Chinese American actress named Anya who was the main actress that I acted with. It was really interesting to get to know her, since she basically grew up in the United States but is also Chinese and is now doing film here in China...

      Of course there's always the increased experience that comes with the work, and acting opposite Anya was good because I got to learn how she acts and worked with the director, who, by the way, is a very nice, friendly guy, by the name of Shen Hao Fang.

    I don't have a whole lot of pictures yet (still waiting for them to send me more) but I'll post a couple here for everyone to see.  The name of the TV show is "Lost in Los Angeles", and is about a group of of Chinese people who had, because of reasons related to their parents, moved to America, and are now returning to China to find their relatives.. I played a not so nice guy in America who does some harmful things to one of the main characters, played by Anya.  Unfortunately, I missed out on the bigger role, which would have allowed me to go with them to L.A. and film, mainly because at the time they needed someone who had a valid driver's license in the States, and I lost mine a year ago, so they were uncertain, and ended up giving that part to an Australian guy. Oh well..  The good thing, though, is that I was able to work a little more with Anya. That was pretty cool and educational

     

    Anyway, here are the pictures:
