You could set ambient to 1.0 and diffuse and specular to 0.0 to basically 
turn off lighting.  ie: 

myActor.GetProperty().SetAmbient(1.0);
myActor.GetProperty().SetDiffuse(0.0);
myActor.GetProperty().SetSpecular(0.0);

(note this is how it would be done in java, change the syntax for whatever 
language you're using)
