Alex Komang makes ideal bandit

JAKARTA: There is a suspicion that the appointment of actor Alex Komang for the part of Medasing in Helmy Yahya's new TV drama Anak Perawan di Sarang Penyamun (Virgin in the Bandit's Lair) is not only because of the famed actor's acting talent, but also because of the bandit-like bushy beard and moustache that he sports.

""Maybe to the casters I look like the ideal bandit,"" Alex laughed good humoredly.

Bandit-like or not, the five-time winner of Citra (the then Indonesian equivalent of the Academy Awards) could be the lure for the show when it opens on Indosiar in October.

""Well, after all, who has never heard of Alex Komang?"" Helmy queried.

Alex will play the notorious Medasing in the drama loosely based on Sutan Takdir Alisjahbana's 1940 novel of the same title.

""Well besides, he (Helmy) pays me very well,"" he remarked. -- JP
