‘Happen Inn’ lured him
Christchurch actor Alisdair Kincaid — “What Now?’s” Frank Flash and Cobra on “The Kids From 0.W.L.” — says he has wanted to work in television ever since he saw the Chicks on “Happen In.” But 22-year-old Kincaid’s eventual entry into the world of his dreams came about almost by accident. Three years ago he had a six-month P.E.P. job as an actor with a children’s theatre group called Penguins In My Socks. At the same time he was involved with an amateur thatre group, The Riccarton Players. “One day Jim Hopkins (the Christchurch broadcaster) saw me with Penguins, then that same night saw me with the players. “He seemed to like what he saw and he knew Rex Simpson who was producing What Now? then, and he recommended me.” Although he is happy with his onscreen television roles at the moment, Kincaid says he is also interested in working on the production side of television at some time in the future. And he is trying his hand at writing, working on a film script
