Tia Carrere Sings Ronnie James Dio!

Actress and musician Tia Carrere shares stories about the role that changed her life - Cassandra in Wayne’s World! She explains how Mike Myers personally told her she was his pick, how she learned to play bass and sing like Pat Benatar for the movie, and why the soundtrack became such a massive part of the film’s success. Tia has behind-the-scenes stories from True Lies including auditioning for James Cameron, working with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Bill Paxton, and the bold post-production decision she made that completely changed her character, Juno Skinner. She also talks about winning two GRAMMY Awards for Hawaiian music, her love of rock and metal (hear her impromptu Black Sabbath and Ronnie James Dio singing), and why music has always been at the center of her career. Tia discusses Lilo & Stitch, the emotional reason the story still resonates more than 20 years later, and what it means to help bring Hawaiian culture to audiences around the world. Plus, she talks about being discovered in Hawaii, her early days on General Hospital, almost becoming a regular on The A-Team, improvising on Curb Your Enthusiasm, and traveling the world on Relic Hunter.
