JC, nagbunyi nang maging detective

Tuwang-tuwa ang aktor na si JC de Vera na kasali siya sa mahusay na cast ng Philippine adaptation ng hit Korean series na Flower of Evil, na ngayon ay tumatanggap ng magagandang review at ito rin ang unang serye sa Pilipinas na ipinalabas sa 16 na bansa sa buong mundo.

“It was a chance to do something different, because I have always played the leading man or the romantic interest or the third wheel in my past projects,” kumpisal ni JC, sa kung bakit siya nagbunyi sa pagkakataon na gampanan ang papel ng isang detective agent sa serye.

Last year, nakuha rin ni JC ang isang offbeat role bilang spoiled heir na gustong maghiganti para sa mga kasawian ng kanyang pamilya sa La Vida Lena na pinagbidahan ni Erich Gonzales.

Sa mga nakukuhang magagandang review bilang ‘baddie,’ masasabing tagumpay ang transformation ni JC dito sa bago niyang serye. “I really want to explore more of my versatility as an actor now, one who is character driven, and it’s about time,” pahayag ng actor.

Kaya wala siyang dalawang-isip nang matanggap ang nasabing offer na gampanan ang character ni Andrew Marcelo, para imbestigahan ang character ni Iris Castillo Del Rosario, Lovi Poe’s character in Flower of Evil. “It’s something very different for me and it’s a big co production with Viu International LTD. Yes, it’s a big deal and a great opportunity, and I am very fortunate to be part of it,” paliwanag niya pa.

Dagdag pa ni JC :  “This is something I would run out and chase for and I’m so thankful it ended up on my lap.

“And what an experience it was, and it was hard work, a good learning environment and it was a blast working with all these highly skilled professionals and co-actors in our Kapamilya set!”

May ilang projects pa si JC na napila.

Kamakailan ay may natapos siyang magiging entry for the forthcoming Cinemalaya festival entitled Bakit Di Mo Sabihin na nakatakdang mapanood sa August.

Nakatambal niya rito for the first time si Janine Gutierrez. “It’s not a typical love story, it’s another diffe­rent concept, one of which we put a lot of our heart and soul into,” says JC.

May ginagawa ring romantic comedy ang actor The Entitled, na mapapanood naman sa Netflix before the end of July. JC co-stars with Alex Gonzaga under the direction of Theodore Boborol.

Kaya masasabing, isa na si JC sa pinaka-abalang actor.

Pero tutukan muna siya sa Flower of Evil aired every Saturday and Sunday at 9 p.m. at the Kapamilya Channel and A2Z and on Viu every Thursdays and Fridays at 8 p.m.
