Season Premiere- Mark Dacascos - Dancing With The Stars

[whatfrog903]

CHAIRMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[glacier2win]

it's weird not seeing him on iron chef america lol.

[1j9w9h0]

that was a great start by Mark and Lacey. I would've liked to see a little less kung fu, and he can work on his arms a little bit more but other than that I liked it a lot!

[sabett23]

Lacey has amazing legs and i love them!!! And those dancing shoes are killers!!!!

[TheDTclan]

That was hot at the end

[DeusExMachinaT75]

He is on Iron Chef America.

[samsonite8881]

@DeusExMachinaT75 My dad loves that show.

[Nightavenger2]

Be amazing if he actually got to be in a well written double dragon movie because his martial arts skills, and sensational acting got wasted in Double Dragon.

[Deathdragoon799]

0:31 He's still got the moves at 45! Way to go Mark lol!! XD

[thanotron1222]

for years ive suspected that the host of iron chef america and manny from brotherhood of the wolf where one and the same, but that wasnt confirmed until now... by, for god knows what reason, following a dancing with the stars link on youtube.. but man.... those hips where deadly,,,

[mutterkat]

I LOVE Mark Dacascos! I don't watch prime time TV stuff, but I'm so glad it's on youtube! I was hooked on him after Brotherhood of the Wolf : ))) I knew he'd be a great dancer with all his martial arts talent. Too bad the judges didn't agree.

[smsinaz88]

mark went home booo hooo no come back mark

[Kdaddy61987]

Whoa no i didnt know he was dancing on the show! I love the movie only the strong and ive missed it!!! Quick someone let me know when dancing with the stars come on...

[whill1031]

It comes on every Monday and Tuesday night at 7 on monday and 8 on tuesday :), I live in Missouri though so if you live somewhere else use the time zones thing to find out

[IndiumBlue]

Forget Kung Fu, that is some lethal hip action @ 0:31 :-) Clearly the judges were punch drunk that first week to give him such low scores.

[tinjmail]

I don't like the way Lacey talk to Mark. She calls him smartass and a jerk. Shouldn't be joking around like that because Mark is not her close friend.

[BlackxxArrow]

I Love The Chinese Theme Too

That Was BEAST

[DeanCainLover]

Who needs a cardio workout he left my heart racing!!

[karoneprincess1]

I hope Donny, Mya, Natalie, Louie, and Mark would stay to semi-final and the final round. I'm voting for them all.

Thanks ABCNetwork SOO MUCH for posting this. And the quality are extremely great and crystal clear.

[kimey2012]

omg! i love the dance moves and the outfits!

[elvenlove]

Hot damn. Favorite dance of the first round, male or female.

[shwebama]

That is hot hot hot.... love it.

WTG, Chairman!

[prayergirl146]

And now we know why Alton Brown calls him "the nimble chairman" every week. =)

[smadxs]

He's not bad, and he's really hot!

[BlackxxArrow]

Everybody Wants Kung-Fu Fighting

Love This Dance

[GreenAngel1988]

That was AWESOME!!!

[Bladestar7]

Right on Crying Freeman!!

[sgirl2233]

You know a lot of the guys had A LOT of potentail, louie, mark, aaron, now they just need to learn a little more, and BAM! Star dancers.

[JPAADad]

what about donnie

[myyutube08]

yup, and his dad's filipino, and u know the cha cha cha is one fav dance among filipinos :=)

[sylvernights]

I agree with NYB. I don't think advantage matters in this case. Hard work, effort and some skill is more important than that. Any one of those contestants can win if they try.

[rachelleio]

he can really move, i'm impressed! him and lacey are both gorgeous! they're just one of the few couples i'm rooting for this season!

[NewYawkahBroad]

What's unfair about having someone who already knows how to move?? I don't want to watch someone who's painful to watch! Hello? Who enjoyed watching Wayne Newton?? Ugh! Let him stick to singing!

[alexisrg7]

I agree.

[NewYawkahBroad]

Who's Iron now?? You GO, Mark!!!!

[whill1031]

He's pretty good. Not bad at all.

[marasam88]

You know he does have a bit of an unfair advantage against the other contestants because he already has martial arts training. I don't care though I STILL LOVE HIM!!

[Makeyaday]

wow.. he did great! compared to alot of the other guys. good job!

[cafra1707]

he can shake that ass!

i love this guy.

that was an awesome routine.

[EDRPOS]

Dude was hot

[DriverB]

I love Mark Dacascos but I hate this stupid racist song. And he's not Chinese!

[dadoody]

Oh god. Angryasianman throwing more idiot liberals to comment on trivial things like this and to pull the racism card on a song that pays tribute to Kung Fu movies.

Cheesey dance and song, but pulling the race card on something as trivial as this? Come on...

You don't see the Irish pulling the race card when they're dancing to cheesey fake celtic musack.

[LizetteBaguette]

Mark's dad, Al is Filipino (pinoy) hailing from Hawaii & his ma, Moriko McVey is Japanese Irish. What a delicious mix! This song is AWESOME!

[icesk8er131]

His dad is of chinese ancestry and is filipino.

[sylvernights]

He's also Irish and Japanese on his mother's side.

[Bryan7Q]

He is sooooooooo adorable, I could just ...eat him up with a spoon. I think I gave all my votes for him on the first night. I think he's a contender for the finale....

[carissa74]

Man he is a good looking man! I thought he was good. I love this show

[nythawk81]

This might be the toughest season to judge yet...not so much due to the talent, but the likeability of most of the stars.

[StudyPunkRockism]

iron chef america chairman! this is awesome!

[AMANDAtheAWESOMEone]

WOW!! he did such a terrific job... I didn't even know this guy would be able to dance

[IndiumBlue]

Amanda: is there anything Mark Dacascos cannot do? He's also an amazing singer. Look for the video called "Closing Time".

I was so relieved that he was safe. However I've noticed that when the camera pans on the men in the sidelines, it rarely stops on Mark, why is that ABC?

[Daffadillo]

it's the chairman!!!! i luv him! i hope he wins :D

[gisforgary]

hes pretty good -- the choreography was really bad -- like really really bad and he tries to save it by hamming it up. its very uneven and she pretty much sucks. i feel kind of bad because i think he talented but got a bad partner and they don't make a good team.

[IreneNY2]

Is he the guy from the food network show where the Chef's get challenges. I forget the name of the show, Bobby Flay is on it and Mario Bertolli.

[fobmachine21]

iron chef?

[zandi02]

i like him, im no judge of dancing tho, and not only that, but i cant wait to see him do the pasa doble and the cha cha

[zandi02]

i think he did great, im no judge of dancing but he can really move, i cant wait to see him do the cha cha and the pasa doble

[alexisrg7]

this was the cha cha

[mellaLee21]

Im not a fan of Lacey's, but that has to be one of the better outfits I've seen on the show. Fits the theme, complements her body, and the red fringe at the bottom is like genius for those turns. lol.

The dance shamelessly played to his strengths, but it was still entertaining and well done.

[gatiis02]

nice moves...

[bigbenkentucky]

I thought this was one of the best dances of the night. I thought it was just as good as Aaron Carter's cha cha if not better, but the judges scores did not reflect that. In my amateur opinion, I thought it deserved a few eights. I actually like the way they incorporated a few kung fu moves into the routine. It was very fun to watch. By the way, the quality of this video is excellent! I'm impressed!

[cheryladay]

He's quite entertaining to watch -- but need him to loosen up and show a bit of "passion" (not the fighting kind!)

[elmando5]

I hope Mark Dacascos wins the competition. The guy has great coordination and he's going to get better as the season progresses.
