Actors may play different characters on the big or small screen but no one can deny that the character of the real person comes through. Some might agree that a large number of actors, the ones that are not type-cast, put into that character their own personality. It can't be helped!
I first saw Kari in Sliders. Yeah yeah, another pretty face to get some ratings...hmmm good actress though, good character too. Ok I'm interested. Actually I lied; those eyes captivated me but I don't want to be known as a guy who 'loves' a person they've never met! Anyhow, after doing some digging on the web, I became interested (or at least intrigued) in the 'person' Kari Wuhrer / Salin.
I've seen most of her movies....am I a fan? What is a fan? I like lots of actors. If it means that you pay particular attention to an actor's career then sure.
Watching some MTV vid caps allowed us to see the person and personality. Unfortunately for me, she portrayed a personality that I was always attracted to in my dating days. Great, liking an actress whom you'll never meet; I've always said I was never like that. That sucked. But those kind of feelings always evolve into a professional appreciation and respect, (unless you're a stalker I guess).
Here is the big thing I noticed - Kari was (is) an excellent actress yet her roles were...well....she knows. I betted that she didn't fit the Hollywood 'profile' i.e.: rebellious, and therefore no one would dream of giving her blockbuster roles. HA! Their loss.
Then came the Oprah Winfrey show and Kari was talking about, among other things, getting jobs because of her....'enhancements'. I was very impressed and fell hopelessly in love. But again, being a realist, it was easy to accept how this happens to many actors....ya di ya di ya.
I'm glad she has a wonderful family, as do I, and she deserves it. She will always be my favorite female actors (do we call them actresses or actors now??) And when all the guys at work are talking about the latest hot celeb, I'll always say that Kari is my all-time favorite.
Keep it up Kari! Love ya!
