ACTRESS Sarah Lian ‘s
been busy, since heading to Toronto, Canada, six months ago to concentrate on
her acting career. One of the projects of the KL-born, Vancouver-bred lass is
playing a sexy shopaholic.
She plays in a
ten-episode online comedy series, called Mister French Taste. To watch the
video on Koldcast TV, go here.
It's a cross-cultural
comedy filmed in Hong Kong, and revolves around an uppity French etiquette
coach, played by actor Olivier Malet.
The coach competes
with his protégée (played by Osric Chau)
for the attentions of shopaholic Lily Lee, played by Sarah (who
incidentally, turns 28 on May 12). Each episode, is about three minutes long.
Sarah told The Daily
Chilli, “I'm the love interest of the main characters. It had been a while
since I explored comedy and this cross-cultural story is guaranteed to hit a
funny bone.”
The director of the
series, Jennifer Thym, says, “Everyone knows Sarah is beautiful but not many
peole know that she is smart and has a great sense of humour and can play it
straight to Oliver’s outlandishness.”
Meanwhile, Sarah is
currently hard at work in Toronto, attending auditions and waiting for her big
break.
"I had a few
close calls for some roles but its a matter of time before I can get a big one,
so I'm optimistic, " she says.
She adds, "Last
summer I had the opportunity to be on set at the filming of the remake of Total
Recall, starring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel. It'll be
released this August and I'll have to wait and see if my scene will make it to
the film."
Sarah also has role
in an online crime drama Cybergeddon, a drama on online crimes.
It will premiere on
Yahoo! in September and stars Olivier Martinez. the French actor who starred in
Unfaithful, and who is also engaged to Halle Berry.
Missy Peregrym (from
the cop drama Rookie Blue) also stars in Cybergeddon. But Sarah's acting
accomplishments don't stop there.
She is also acting
in Jasmine, a "psychological
thriller about a man seeking to find out more about his wife’s murder."
The teaser of the
independent film is already out. To watch the trailer, go here.
Written and directed
by Hollywood-based director Dax Phelan,
the film is currently in post-production and will be ready for the film
festival circuit "soon."
It stars Jason Tobin
(of The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift fame), Eugenia Yuan (who starred in
Memoirs of a Geisha), Glen Chin and Byron Mann.
Cybergeddon is
created by Anthony Zulker of CSI fame. And you thought she was just the
Internet Ah Moi.
Sarah, role as the
"Internet Ah Moi" in the 2010 MyEG TV infomercial created quite a
buzz,
