Kiwi actor in Hollywood
Charles Mesure is standing in the glare of Tinseltown. With the big US networks having ordered more than 70 sitcoms and 50 dramas during pilot season, Mesure found himself playing a bad-boy rocker in a Pamela Anderson sitcom, a bad-boy priest in a supernatural drama and, as an aside, appearing in the big hit of the season, Lost, and the season finale of Without a Trace. It was the Anderson sitcom Stacked that got the go-ahead and Mesure, the British-born, Australian-trained actor who has spent all his working life in New Zealand - including three years as cop Kees Van Damm in Street Legal - suddenly has what's known in Hollywood as "heat".
