Midway through the conversation, the actor stopped to accept a delivery at his front door. Turns out the arriving box contained free weights, which he intended to use almost immediately. Never mind the fact that he&#8217;s already a lean, mean fighting machine.

He came close to fulfilling this dream in 2018 after a break in his work schedule allowed him to audition with the LA-based Independent Shakespeare Co., which stages the annual Shakespeare in the Park festival in the Santa Monica Mountains.<\/p>\n<p>As Dacascos recalls, \u201cI auditioned for the role of Aaron the Moor in the play <em>Titus Andronicus<\/em> \u2014 and they offered me the part. I was so excited! I was scheduled to do 28 live performances for up to 4,000 people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But alas, it was not meant to be. Two weeks after booking the job, Dacascos was handed the role of Zero in the third installment of <em>John Wick<\/em>. When filming for the action-packed thriller ran longer than expected, he was forced to withdraw from the play.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_96179\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-96179\" src=\"https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/09\/2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" class=\"size-full wp-image-96179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/09\/2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/09\/2.jpg?resize=450,450 450w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/09\/2.jpg?resize=768,768 768w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2020\/09\/2.jpg?resize=335,335 335w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-96179\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cast as the lead assassin in <em>John Wick: Chapter 3\u2013Parabellum<\/em>, Dacascos strikes a pose with the Shinobi duo, played by fellow martial artists Cecep Arif Rahman and Yayan Ruhian. <strong>PHOTOS COURTESY MARK DACASCOS<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<p>And yet, parting turned out to be sweet sorrow for Dacascos because, in his mind, the door was left open for an eventual return.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is what it is,\u201d says Dacascos about the missed opportunity. \u201cI&#8217;m still on good terms with the Shakespeare company and I hope to someday perform a Shakespeare play for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, he vows to continue perfecting his acting skills under the watchful eye of renowned British voice coach and theater director Patsy Rodenburg, who he&#8217;s been studying with for the past 17 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll that I ever learned from Patsy is what I should have learned before ever setting foot on a stage or a set,\u201d says Dacascos of his coach, whose high-profile students include Daniel Craig, Orlando Bloom, Joseph Fiennes, Judi Dench and Ian McKellen. \u201cHer lessons are 100 percent applicable to my martial arts and my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>A Family Act<\/h3>\n<p>Shortly before Dacascos turned 19, he was approached by two men in San Francisco Chinatown and asked if he&#8217;d like to audition for a movie. At the time, he was teaching at his stepmother&#8217;s martial arts school and searching for his calling in life. The year prior, he was seriously considering a monastic future while living and studying kung fu in Taiwan. But after being invited to watch a performance by his Uncle Alan&#8217;s dance troupe in a nearby province and finding himself attracted to one particular hula dancer, Dacascos had a revelation:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI realized I loved girls too much and that I wasn&#8217;t cut out for being a monk!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Neither did he feel like he was best suited for life as an actor \u2014 at least at first. He politely declined the movie offer, but took the men&#8217;s cards anyway and returned to the school, where he mentioned the encounter to his stepmother. She quickly suggested that he audition for the role.<\/p>\n<p>That he did, and landed the part as Joan Chen&#8217;s romantic interest in the movie <em>Dim Sum: A Little Bit of Heart<\/em>. Since then, the cinematic and small-screen roles have piled up, allowing this all-around nice dude to thrive in both good- and bad-guy roles. They include leading parts in <em>Double Dragon<\/em> (1994), <em>The Redemption: Kickboxer 5<\/em> (1995), <em>Drive <\/em>(1997) and <em>Brotherhood of the Wolf<\/em> (2001), in which Dacascos plays the memorable role of Mani, an Iroquois warrior on the hunt for the serial-killing Beast of Gevaudan that is terrorizing 18th century France.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, he&#8217;s been cast in the TV series <em>Wu Assassins<\/em> as the monk Kun Zi, and in the zombie thriller <em>The Driver<\/em>, in which he stars alongside real-life wife Julie Condra and their 14-year-old daughter, Noelani Dacascos.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, his newest flick, <em>One Night in Bangkok<\/em>, was released, and Dacascos says he&#8217;s grateful to have been offered the role of Kai Kahale, a simple man who&#8217;s looking for a bit of vigilante justice in Thailand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s about a regular guy from Hawai\u2018i who years before was in the military, so he&#8217;s had some training with guns, but he&#8217;s not a professional assassin,\u201d he explains. \u201cSome bad things happen to his family, and justice is not served. He&#8217;s as patient as can be, but he understands that things are not going to change. So he decides to rectify the situation on his own.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, Dacascos makes his home in the suburbs of Los Angeles with Condra and two of their children \u2014 the aforementioned Noelani and son Kapono, 18. Their oldest child, 19-year-old Makoa, recently moved to O\u2018ahu to live with family while learning the culinary art from master chef Alan Wong, who Dacascos fondly refers to as \u201cthe Bruce Lee of cooking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In fact, it was at Wong&#8217;s restaurant where the couple held their wedding dinner after getting hitched in 1998. That was less than four years after they were both cast for <em>Crying Freeman<\/em>, a romantic-action drama in which Dacascos plays an assassin hired to kill Condra. Of course, he ends up falling for her \u2014 a perfect example of how life sometimes imitates art.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe actually met for the first time on the flight up to Vancouver,\u201d explains Dacascos. \u201cThe producers and director brilliantly sat us next to each other so that we could start building chemistry \u2014 and it worked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After three months on set, Dacascos saw enough of Condra to believe she was special. But what ultimately convinced him that she would be his soulmate and lifelong partner was that he could see his future children in her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the end, my thought was that she would make an incredible mom. That&#8217;s what it was,\u201d he reveals. \u201cYes, she is super-talented as an actress, smart, kind and very beautiful, but what I really saw was her as a mom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFortunately for me and my kids \u2014 all of whom were born at Wahiaw\u0101 General Hospital \u2014 I was right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In summarizing his still-ascending career, Dacascos \u2014 who directed his first movie, <em>Showdown in Manila<\/em>, in 2016 and would love another opportunity at working behind the camera \u2014 says he&#8217;s been both fortunate and blessed. He doesn&#8217;t dare pick a favorite movie or TV role, because doing so would be akin to choosing between his children \u2014 an impossible task, he notes.<\/p>\n<p>Rather, in keeping within character, Dacascos simply gauges his path by the steady improvements he makes along the way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, I like to think that whatever I worked on last was my best performance,\u201d he says. \u201cEach part has been a step.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actor Mark Dacascos, who&#8217;s played everything from Wo Fat in \u201cHawai\u2018i Five-0\u201d and Zero in \u201cJohn Wick 3\u201d to the..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":96175,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-96174","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cover-story"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
