Tia Carrere Biography |
|||||||||||||
| Tia Carrere was born on January, 2nd 1967. She was discovered in true Hollywood fashion. While shopping in a grocery store, she was approached by an elderly couple whose son was about to start shooting a coming-of-age film called "Aloha summer" and needed a young actress for the starring role. Tia landed that role, put the money in her pocket, and headed for Los Angeles. While there, she began to develop a modeling career, while several bit parts came her way. She appeared in popular television shows such as The A-Team, MacGyver, but hit it big when she was cast in the recurring role of nurse Jade Soong Chung, in the daytime soap, General Hospital in 1985. Tia then made the leap to the silver screen with film roles in Showdown in Little Tokyo (where she had a body double appear nude for her) and Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man, both in 1991. But it was after she co-starred with Mike Myers and Dana Carvey in the comedy Wayne's World in 1992 (a role she chose over Baywatch), that American audiences really took notice of the Hawaiian beauty. As Wayne's dream girl, aspiring rock star Cassandra, Tia made it clear that she's worthy of a schwing or two. Tia then joined Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes to star in Rising Sun, and reprise her role of Cassandra in the 1993 sequel to the hugely successful Wayne's World. In 1994, Tia appeared as Juno Skinner in the Schwarzenegger hit True Lies, and appeared in the films Treacherous and Hostile Intentions that same year. Tia can presently be seen as Sydney Fox in the action television series Relic Hunter, and starring in the film Shi (a.k.a. Shi: The Way of the Warrior). When she's not filming, Tia enjoys a successful music career. She started up as a singer in a local band that played Black Sabbath and AC/DC covers and in a jazz orchestra. Later she sang on the Wayne's world 1 album, and after that she released the album DREAM that sold to platinum in the Philippines. | |||||||||||||
