This is exactly what former Seiko stud Gardo Versoza is doing. At 32, Gardo rightly realizes the hunk roles are better left to the likes of Diether Ocampo and Carlos Agassi.


Gardo, who has been dubbed as the Brown Adonis, is happy and content playing a bang-bang kind of role as a prisoner released from jail with fellow inmate Kier Legaspi, in Regal Film’s Aagos ang Dugo.
