For much of his career, and certainly during the past decade, actor Henry Ian Cusick has built a reputation on dramatic roles.

He spent his time in serious roles, including his pragmatic (and lethal) Kane in the current series “The 100,” a terrorist last season on “Hawaii Five-0,” and the quirky, obsessed Desmond during the long, successful run of “Lost.” He even played Jesus in a movie.

But in his latest film, “Frank vs. God,” which has its Hawaii premiere Friday at the Maui Film Festival, the Lanikai resident works to make the audience laugh.

“It’s a strange little comedy,” Cusick said of his role as David Frank. “It’s about a man suing God. He has lost his wife. He has lost his house. He has lost his dog. And when he finds out he is not covered by insurance because it is an act of God, he wants someone to pay for it.”

The part is Cusick’s first comedic role in a feature film and his first comedy since he was a regular on the Scottish television series “The Book Group” in 2003, Cusick said in a telephone interview.

“I would love to do more,” he said. “I got a taste for it. This is light comedy, but it also has some serious arguments to make, which I enjoyed as well, about religion and faith. And these are topics that have always interested me.”

The film was shot in 21 days last year in Orlando, Fla. It also stars Ever Carradine (daughter of Robert Carradine of “Revenge of the Nerds” fame) and was directed by Stewart Schill.

Audiences will be able to relate to Frank, a cynical, burned-out attorney who finds inspiration in his case, Cusick said.

“They will root for him and his journey in the film,” he said. “He is fairly likable. This is a fun movie, I think.”

The film premiered last week at Dances With Films in Los Angeles, where Cusick watched it for the first time. It went well, he said.

“The audience laughed at the right places and some surprising places,” he said. “But by and large they were with it. They were touched and some cried.”

Cusick won’t be on Maui for the screening. He’s in Utah for three weeks of filming “Let It Go,” the story of a pastor who forgives the drunken driver who killed his wife and some of his children. After that, he’ll head for Vancouver, British Columbia, to work on the second season of “The 100.”

In Utah, Cusick will work alongside his 20-year-old son Eli, who will play the younger version of the pastor. Eli Cusick is a student at Loyola Marymount University but took a year off to work in the film industry.

Cusick said he isn’t looking for projects with a religious or spiritual backdrop.

“I don’t know if I am being drawn to these movies or they are being drawn to me. I am just going with the flow. But I like the message of love and forgiveness. It’s good to put that out for the universe.”

“Frank vs. God” will screen at 8 p.m. Friday, doors open at 6:30 p.m. with entertainment at 7 p.m., at the Seaside Cinema at the Grand Wailea Resort. For ticket information, visit www.mauifilmfestival.com.

Breaking News!  Ian will be starring in a new film by Propel Pictures, based on the true story of Chris Williams, who forgave the drunk driver who took the lives of his family in 2007.

Details are in the press release below:

LET IT GO Feature Film Announces Lead Actors

Propel Pictures to produce a feature film about the true life story of Chris Williams, based on his
life, journals, and book, LET IT GO.

The story and script has attracted talent far and wide. The producers have cast Henry Ian
Cusick from the hit television series LOST, and The 100 to play the lead role as Chris Williams.
In addition, the team welcomes Academy Award Nominee Brenda Vacarro. Many other
supporting cast have been selected from a rich talent pool inside and outside of Utah.

The film is set to begin production in Salt Lake City, Utah in June of 2014. 

The compelling true story was covered nationally and touched many lives because of Chris’
decision to forgive the underaged drunk driver who tragically killed his pregnant wife, son, and
only daughter in a terrible automobile crash in 2007.

Writers/Directors C.S. Clark and Patrick Henry Parker, the principals of Propel Pictures, learned
about the amazing story shortly after it occurred in 2007 and approached Chris Williams about
producing a documentary about his eventual triumph over tragedy. The response to Chris’s
story and the documentary was remarkable. The team decided to develop a feature length
production about Chris’s incredible journey from tragedy to healing.

“On the surface the story
seems unbelievable, but the reality of letting go of something like this was a daily struggle for
Chris, there are layers to this story that will surprise people” ~ Patrick H. Parker

LET IT GO is sure to be an emotional journey about the human experience of forgiveness and
letting go . A theatrical release date will be announced shortly after production.

Chris Williams has been a consultant on the project.
