Chandni Chowk To China is the title of the Indian movie that I auditioned for a month ago. Natually I got the part, the Henchman to the main bad guy in the movie with a decent role and decent exposure.
More importantly for me this is a Warner Brothers movie. In fact it is Warner Brothers first Indian production, in an effort to break into the huge and growing Indian movie market. As such it follows the recent trend of modern Indian movies in being a departure from the classic style of singing and dancing movies.
Add in Akshay Kumar, one of India's most popular and talented Actors, an extremely talented Honk Kong Stunt Team lead by and Action directed by Dee Dee (Kill Bill 1&2, Lethal Weapon 4 + MORE) a mix of comedy and outlandish situations and you get....

Drona, this years big budget Bollywood movie, directed by Goldie Behl, starring Abhishek Bachchan as a superhero, former Miss World Priyanka Chopra will play Abhishek's bodyguard and Kay Kay Menon will play a negative role.
Drona also features Conan Stevens in a..... negative role (read on).
Drona is expected to bring the best special effects yet to date
to Indian cinema, and through my involvement, though limited at this
stage I can confirm this. Some work is even being done in Australia by
a very experienced special effects company that has worked on some
absolutely huge Hollywood films....

One of the most important tools in an actors bag of tricks is his headshots and bodyshots, also known as his (or her) comp card.
I had Jimmie Wing, a Bangkok based professional photographer recently take some new photos for me.
The photos and link to the gallery are following...

How do you find out about upcoming Movie and TV auditions? Especially Movie and TV auditions (or castings) that no one else knows about?
Just in the last few days I have been seperately contacted by producers of 2 seperate USA TV shows and 1 Casting Agent for a Action Movie Role.
Add this to the well connected Casting Agent who contacted me last month for a possible role in a Hong Kong Action Movie and it seems that the future is very bright.
But how do I find out early about these upcoming Movie and TV auditions?

Power Kids was the movie that got me over to move to Thailand in the first place, hence Power Kids was the first movie that I worked on in Thailand.
Shot Dead In Powerkids
The Power Kids movie was already in pre-production and some filming had already taken place when my friend John who had moved over to Thailand 6 months before called me up and told me he had a part in the Power Kids movie, and they were looking for other big guys...
*Update: 2009 release date now official

Nathan Jones and I have been working together on the new Action Movie "Som Tam" or "Pattaya Papaya" (Western title I think).
I first met Nathan Jones many years ago now up in the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia but working in Som Tam is the first time we have worked together.
Nathan Jones is HUGE, currently he is not training with weights and has let his bodyweight drop down to more comfortable levels as he said "all the really big guys keep dying early"

I had a few days off filming Som Tam this week and I thought I would get time to eat and train, well I got time to train but not in the way that I was expecting.
The meeting I had with Baa Ram Ewe on Christmas day has finally come to fruition. After a little bit of juggling (possible scheduling conflicts with Som Tam) I was confirmed late Tuesday night to go in on Wednesday to practise a Pilot scene which we would film on Thursday.

I have been on set filming the action/drama Som Tam movie over the last few weeks, it has been fun and eventful so far, very well organised and a pleasure to work on with the crew, even the movie extras have been entertaining in their own way.
Som Tam being a full blown commercial production I am going to bring you the bits that I can for now and I'll write a more in depth article and behind the scenes photos when the movie is officially released.
But for now, enjoy...

Working on the Som Tam Movie set again this week I was reminded of my previous encounters with movie Extras.
Movie Extras are entry level actors or hobbyists who work as crowds and background people in movies. They do not get any lines, they get no camera focus, and they are uncredited (names not shown at the end of the movie) and they don't get to put the movie onto their CV (unless they are lying).
There are several official classifications of movie Extras but the biggest classifiaction differences are in the way each movie Extra acts on set and what he/she does...

Last night I was invited to the SFX cinema's publicity show at Siam Paragon, when I arrived the center of the huge shopping mall was full of movie and TV celebrities and reporters of all varieties.
I arrived just in time to be ushered into a photo with the other guys and shareholders of the Bangkok Adrenaline movie, we got our photos taken, some of the organisers were staring at me worriedly...

I recieved a call today at 8.30am (Sunday) to go into a movie set from an acting agent I have not heard from for a while. She wanted me to help her out by working on a Indian movie today.
Apparently one of the actors already cast in the Indian movie had a motorbike accident and could not make it, they desperately needed someone to fill in.
After a brief discussion I rejected the offer to help... why?

That's right, I have signed with Baa Ram Ewe to act in their upcoming made for International release movie called Som Tam (pronounced Som Tum alternatively titled Pattaya Papaya). In the final scene I will be battling it out against the only other muscle giant actor that I have so far met - Nathan Jones.
Billed As Tom Yum Gung 2 Som Tam Is Hoped To Be As Big A Success As Nathan Jones 1st Thai Movie
Like the smash hit movie Tom Yum Gung (or Tom Yam Goong or a variety of other spellings) the name is derived from a well known Thai food dish. In this case Som Tam is an EXTREMELY hot salad made with crushed up green papaya, chillies, prawns (shrimps), tomato, dried chilli powder, fish sauce, etc.
It is always fun to watch a tourist being fed his first bite of Som Tam (Som Tum)....
