- Ryan Bang received an offer from SBS TV which he turned down.
- He has no regrets about passing up the said offer.
- After playing sidekicks, he finally gets a lead role.
Ryan Bang recently revealed that he never expected to end up in the showbiz industry. He also couldn’t believe to have a Star Cinema movie which he top-bills. After doing many supporting roles, he finally has his own horror-comedy movie, Da One That Ghost Away.
During the movie’s grand media launch, Ryan shared that he gave his 150% for the movie.
In the said media launch, Ryan stated that he couldn’t believe that he would be a leading man. He had always played as a sidekick for Piolo Pascual, Coco Martin and Robin Padilla. He also added that he would want to be like Empoy Marquez.
“Nag-umpisa akong sidekick ni Papa P tapos sidekick ako ni Coco Martin tapos ngayon si idol Robin. Hindi ko akalain ako yung magiging leading man. Siguro katulad din nung nangyari kay Empoy, may chance din ako. Nag-iipon ipon pa ako para ako ang mag-produce para maging bida. Pero ngayon natupad. Kaya binigay ko dito sa movie ang 150%.”
Ryan also just passed up on an offer to start his career in South Korea. He slightly regretted rejecting Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS) TV. He also added that he couldn’t believe that he will be a leading man to Kim Chiu.
“Overwhelmed talaga ako. Hindi ko akalain na ganito ang mangyari sa buhay ko. Pero kasi yung malaking offer sa akin ng Korea nung SBS hindi ko tinanggap, nagsisi ako konti eh. Pero hindi na ako nagsisi dahil eto pala yung mangyayari. Leading man pa ni Kim Chiu kaya sobrang masaya ako. Overwhelmed pa. Nung nakasama ko si Kim Chiu hindi na (ako nagsisi). May offer naman sa akin pero hindi ko nga tinatanggap ang regular show, na regular host. Ano lang, guest guest lang ako sa Korea.”
Ryan revealed his role in DOTGA (Da One That Ghost Away). He played the role of Kim’s best friend, a Tagalog and English teacher for Korean students.
“Ako ay isang teacher ng Tagalog at English sa mga Korean students tapos dun ako nakatira sa bahay ni Kim na si Carmel. Siyempre ang umpisa best friend tapos unti-unti iba yung naramdaman ko sa kanya. Tapos unti-unti mabilis tumitibok ang puso kaya nagustuhan ko si Kim. Abangan niyo kung anong mangyayari, baka may kissing scene, baka may ano.”
DOTGA (Da One That Ghost Away) also stars Maymay Entrata, Edward Barber, Enzo Pineda, Moi Bien, Chokoleit, Lassy, Pepe Herrera, and Odette Khan. Ryan also disclosed that he never felt that his co-stars has a superstar attitude.
“Dito sa movie walaa akong naramdaman na may bida. Tulungan lahat tapos lahat kami sa isang tent. Hindi ko alam sino nag-suggest pero may nag-suggest na sa isang tent lahat kami mag-sama sama. Wala namang naramdaman kung sino yung bida, kung sino yung sidekick. Bawat isang role lahat parang bida sila. Kaya lahat ng bawat isang character may purpose sa movie. Hindi puwedeng wala sila. Si Kim yung pinakabida namin.”
