Veteran actor and Nagbabagang Luha director Ricky Davao said he believes GMA Network made the right decision in Royce Cabrera.
During the media conference for GMA Network’s teleserye Nagbabagang Luha, Davao highlighted Cabrera’s edge as an actor.
“Hindi nagkamali ang GMA [Network] kay Royce. Mayroon na tayong aabangan na isang good looking, napakaganda ng katawan, dark na morenong artista na malalim, pwede masarap. Ito sinasabi ng mga co-stars n’ya, ‘a thinking actor.'”
He also recalled working with Cabrera in Fuccbois.
“Magaling naman talaga s’yang artista. Nakita ko ‘yun noong ginagawa namin. ‘Yung dedication n’ya as an actor nakita ko naman noong ginagawa namin ‘yung Fbois.”
Cabrera reacted to Davao’s praise, expressing his gratitude for all the opportunities he received thus far.
“Sobrang nakakatuwa, parang speechless di ko alam eh. Sobrang pasasalamat ko po sa mga binibigay na blessings sa akin. Sa mga opportunity na alam mo ‘yun sa kabila ng lahat ng sakripisyo na ginagawa ko para mapabuti lagi.
“‘Yung trabaho ko eh talagang finally, na-appreciate ng ibang tao, especially, itong ganitong klaseng tao pa na mabibigat na ‘yung mga pangalan. Kaya isa po talagang karangalan ‘yun para sa akin.”
Cabrera started his career in 2019 with the movie Fuccbois. He then joined the Kapamilya Network and appeared in ABS-CBN’s teleserye, A Soldier’s Heart.
He also starred in the Boys Love series, Quaranthings and appeared on the second season of BenXJim.
