Gardo “Cupcake” Versoza, a GMA Network actor for years, is said to be returning back to the ABS-CBN network as he will be cast on an upcoming television show. Gardo just concluded his television series ‘Onanay,’ where he played the role of Dante Dimagiba, the brother of superstar Nora Aunor (Nelia). However, Gardo’s appearance on the drama series was cut short when his character was killed by Helena (Cherie Gil), after forcing her to tell the truth about kidnapping Onay’s (Jo Berry) daughter, Maila (Mikee Quintos).
On Lolit Solis’ article on Pilipino Star Ngayon, she said, “Matagal na napanood si Gardo Verzosa sa mga teleserye ng GMA 7 kaya marami ang nagulat nang makita siya na kasali sa cast ng bagong teleserye ng ABS-CBN.”
He was first known as the ‘Machete’ star, that lead to its sequel, ‘Machete II.’ His other appearances where in ‘Sabik Sa Halik,’ ‘Halimuyak Ng Babae’ and ‘Kirot.’ He was also cast in critically acclaimed movies such as the 1998 Marilou Diaz-Abaya version of ‘Rizal sa Dapitan,’ where he played the role of hero Andres Bonifacio, and ‘Sisa,’ where he played the role of Jose Rizal / Pepe. He even tried to portray a comedic role when he starred in ‘Pinoy Blonde.’
