Dustin Nguyen has established himself as one of Hollywood’s premiere Asian-American actors, first starring in television hit series such as “21 Jump Street,” “SeaQuest 2032” and “V.I.P.”. In the US, 21 Jump Street established Nguyen as the first primetime Asian heartthrob. In Europe, it was the “Hero” campaign for Levi Jeans’ that expanded his international profile.

He is an actor/director definitely on his way up. He has come back to Vietnam to explore his roots and direct the action picture “Saigon Eclipse.” In the process he has fallen head over heels in love with his co-star Kieu. Kim is a pusher with a good sense of humor who controls with laughter. His determination to get what he wants is evident both on and off the set. A good pool player and a gambler by nature he is all about competition and being best at what he does. He is straight forward and honest and sees the world as his stage. His greatest fear is failure and he works hard to overcome this in all his actions. He tends to think the world will serve him.

Truong Ngoc Anh as Kieu

2006-04-10T03:36:00.000-07:00

Truong Ngoc Anh has collected prestigious national and international awards for her work as both a top actress and model. She is probably the most popular actress and movie star in Vietnam today.

Seemingly on her way to a wonderful marriage and International stardom, she is suddenly faced with a life-changing dilemma. Discovering that her mother is about to be used to pay off a debt created by her dishonest uncle Henry, Kieu offers herself as payment to save her mother from humiliation and abuse. Not realizing what a tragic and dangerous situation she has placed herself in, she resigns herself to a world full of abuse and lost dreams.

Marjolaine Bui as Vanessa

2006-04-10T03:27:00.000-07:00

Marjolaine Bui is best known as the girl who stole the show on the French series “Greg le Millionaire” and went on to her own reality series “Marjolaine et les Millionnaires.” She is a real Viet Kieu, returning to find her homeland, like her character Vanessa. “Saigon Eclipse” will be her introduction to the feature film. Vanessa - The Character Vanessa is a young tourist drawn to Vietnam by her family’s recent history. She is a fine athlete and was the captain of her school Judo team. She is American in her attitudes, and comfortable seeking out liaisons for pleasure and not love. She has no scruples about using this sexuality to further her own ends. Arrogant, sure of herself and of her Western culture, it is only a matter of time before she finds herself reacting to the constraints of Vietnamese society. Her gradual immersion into Vietnamese culture erases once and for all her ‘modern’ Western ways and her “me first” attitude.

Johnny Nguyen as Trong Hai

2006-04-10T02:39:00.000-07:00

Johnny Nguyen “Minh Tri”, began his movie careen in Hollywood as a stuntman in 1998. Since, 2002 he has appeared in several US and Asian productions. In 2004 he was a stunt double in both “Spiderman 2” and “Collateral.” “Saigon Eclipse” will be his first major part in a movie, moreover in a Vietnamese one. Johnny is also famous as a singer among the American Viet Kieu (overseas Vietnamese) community. He is currently in Vietnam, directing “The Rebel,” his first feature film. Filmography • “The Rebel” (filming) • “Adventures of Johnny Tao: Rock Around the Dragon” • “Tom Yum Goong” • “Demon Hunter” • “Sledge: The Story of Frank Sledge” • “First Morning” • “Max Havoc” • “Ella Enchanted” • “Cradle 2 the Grave” • “The Master of Disguise” • “We Were Soldiers” Trong Hai - The Character Handsome, quiet, athletic and a stuntman, full of ambiguities, he inspires confidence in those around him. His unknown job is that of an undercover cop. His assignment: to find out the truth about uncle Henry, Ba Tu and the marriage bureau “Happy Brides,” that is suspected of trafficking in children. Trong Hai is closer to the Vietnamese archetype than at first it would seem. He has a strong sense of Vietnam’s past and agrees with the ideas of loyalty and duty. He is attracted to Vanessa and this leads to trouble.

Nhu Quynh as Ba Tu

2006-04-10T02:30:00.001-07:00

Nhu Quynh was awarded the title “Artist of Excellence” (NSUT) by the Vietnam Ministry of Culture and Information. She started her career over 25 years ago beginning with “Indochine”.

Sold as a child, she continually fears for the fate of her daughter, Kieu. She was won by Henry in a card game and although they live in seeming harmony there is no guarantee of her or Kieu’s destiny. Her love for Kieu is expressed in her every action. Ba Tu is greedy for money which she feels will buy her and Kieu’s safety. Her part in the Marriage Bureau is that of the business person. She controls the finances of the feature film although booth the money and the decisions come from Henry. She is enigmatic and it is always hard to know her true feelings and motivations. She is a religious person who uses her prayer beads constantly. This sometimes gives her feelings away.

Dan You as Henry

2006-04-10T02:26:00.000-07:00

Dan You, comes to us after an exhaustive search for an actor who first of all has not only Vietnamese roots but European sensibilities. Raised in France, he now spends his time between France and Vietnam. He embodies much of the continental flair of our Henry. Dan You is also an award winning artist who represents Pierre Cardin in this region. Henry - The Character Henry is charming, weak, and always pandering to his desires for the easy life. He has an addictive personality which leads him to continually live in a world of half realized dreams. He trades in children no differently than Kieu’s father did and hides it from the public through the Marriage Bureau. Even Ba Tu the accountant for the business is not aware of all the details. He is a gambler and at times has won spectacularly as he did when he won Ba Tu. However over time his losses at the tables have put him, his life style, and Ba Tu at risk. Thinking his charm will find a way through his present debt problems, he does not face reality soon enough and this is catastrophic for him.

He reflects the perfect butler. Underneath he has his own pretensions and is ruthless and cruel. He is also avaricious and one day wants to become the Tong leader that Chen now is.
