going back and re-reading the story again and trying to vision a picture of the actors and actress that would portray it, the only one that i have a stronger feeling toward is Lucky Cha. He is handsome indeed and he has this hardcore cool look will definitely bring out the the arrogant and business characteristics of Toulong Kue. Hopefully his acting will be as good. on the other hand MTV seems a little too nice and sweet to portray Michael. MTV is handsome but he has this boyish bubbly look. hopefully he can prove me wrong.
MTV's looks can be so deceiving...I myself was reluctant about him at first, but I cast him as Michael because I already knew how Michael looked like in my mind......but lets just put it this way...he is the most arrogant, rude and judgemental jerk on screen as Michael Xiong. Hell...even I hated him! And...yes..he is the sweetest person in real life... very shy and reserved..lol Thats why I didnt get how he can be a singer when so shy???
Lucky Cha is very handsome indeed...I knew he was Toulong Kue when I first saw him. He does have that cool, arrogant look. In reality he is very friendly, talkative and imaginative. Your all around boy next door.
KMX is Sean down to the T. His mannerism on and off the set is the same. When he smiles his whole face lights up and yet he can maintain that carefree look thats in Sean.
Bee Her has that dark handsome thing going.. He can be very sweet as Blong Chang and yet when you piss him off he can give off that "you're dead" look. He's a great person in reality thats why it was hard to imagine that hes a hard rock singer !! lol
Mailia Lo is our Kalia. There were over 30 young ladies who we saw as our Kalia potential, but there was just something not right about them. I wanted a girl who wasn't beautiful to play her. Someone who was cute, bubbly and very outgoing. I knew I found her when Mailia walked into our audition tent. Its just one of those things that you as a writer would know. My gut feeling was right. Truth is..shes better than the men!! lol... She brings out the best in all of them. Her chemistry with them is just awesome! She is not only outgoing and very talkative..she can take criticism and is very creative! I was so surprised that she can sing..dance..draw..and play sports so well too! And..the ironic thing is...she's beautiful when made up!!!
I hope we will not disappoint. Thanks again for the support!
