TIA CARERE'S TIME IN JURY DUTY FINALLY PAYS OFF-WILL BE A STYLISH,SADISTIC VILLAIN OF NEW HAWAII 5-0.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser CONFIRMED actress Tia Carrere is "reinventing the famous Hawaii Five-0 villain Wo Fat." The Hawaii-born actress and Grammy-winning singer stated:
"And it doesn't matter that the original Wo Fat was a man -- so was Kono, now played by actress Grace Park." In Jack Lord's Five-0, "Wo Fat was played by Khigh Dhiegh." He played Steve McGarrett's Communist Nemesis, through the show's entire 12 year run.
Carrere, "had expressed interest" in the CBS reboot "earlier in the year." Since she lost out on the Kono part,based on age issues- she moved on other shows,like Syfi's Warehouse 13.
She intends her Wo Fat to BE clad in "a Versace leather suit with Christian Dior sunglasses with sharp nails." Cha-Cha continued: "She would be a dragon lady- but sadistic, absolutely. She would have so much fun.He had a perfect tone of menace."
Exec Producer Peter Lenkov had seriously discussed the role with Cassandra- since they last worked together in notable bomb Jury Duty with '90s star Pauly Shore.
She's finishing the "upcoming You May Not Kiss the Bride and the part of Rell Sunn in Wave Dancer." Carrere relishes " the idea of being bad." Her most memorable role, is the violently classy,slut Juno Skinner- "in the Arnold Schwarzenegger film True Lies."
"I would rather play the villain," the ex-Relic Hunter cooed. "It's more fun to be able to be that bad."
