- Every actress’ dream is to get meaty lead roles. Kris Bernal is lucky to be given the chance to have two roles in one teleserye where she is the lead.
- Things didn’t come easily for Kris. She had to pay dearly for her glory and big breaks in showbiz. She was glad that finally her time has come via GMA 7’s latest afternoon series, Impostora.
- Kris plays challenging dual roles in the said series. It may be difficult but she says she’s willing to give her all for her love of her craft.
“Impostora” will be Kris Bernal’s biggest break to date. She’s set to make TV viewers glued on their TV set every afternoon starting this June.
“Impostora” is the first GMA-produced TV drama adapted abroad. It was first aired in Malaysia in 2007. It had also been shown in other countries such as Hawaii, Singapore, Myanmar, Brunei, Ghana, Tanzania, Kenya, Zambia, Korea, US, Romania, and the Philippines.
Kris will be playing dual roles, one of which will be Nimfa, an ugly street vendor who willingly undergoes surgery and complete facial reconstruction to pretend to be Rosette [her other character], a wealthy and beautiful yet unhappily married wife seeking to escape her husband.
Kris tackles one of her toughest roles to date as Nimfa/Rosette. “It’s very different from the last one I did. First time ko na gumawa ng isang dual role. Dito sa soap talaga ako mahahasa at mag-go-grow. Ito na siguro ‘yung pinaka-challenging character ko. Sa Impostora, pabago-bago ako, hindi lang sa acting, sa pananamit din, may prosthetics pa ako and iba’t ibang makeup at look.”
She feels grateful to her home network for entrusting her this project that’s why she prepared and worked hard for this. “Pinag-aralan ko talaga siya. Sinulat ko ‘yung differences ng dalawang characters. Nag-workshop din ako at ang dami kong pinanood na movies. Ganun ka very specific at detailed ang ginawa ko para paghandaan ang roles ko dito.”
The said Kapuso series will be showing Kris’ versatility as an actress. She will paired with actor Rafael Rosell.
Completing the stellar cast would be versatile actors Ryan Eigenmann as Jeremy, the plastic surgeon who is obsessed with Rosette; Assunta de Rossi as Trina, Homer’s socialite elder sister; Elizabeth Oropesa as Denang, Nimfa’s adoptive mother; Aicelle Santos as Deedee, Nimfa’s confidant; Vaness del Moral as Crisel, Nimfa’s archrival who maltreats her because of her looks; Rita Daniela as Maureen, Rosette’s best friend; Leandro Baldemor as Omar, Crisel’s brother who is a policeman; Sinon Loresca as Maxi, Nimfa’s loyal gay friend; Yuan Francisco as Junic, Homer and Rosette’s youngest son; Dayara Shane as Celine, Homer and Rosette’s rebellious daughter, with the special participation of James Blanco as Eric, Nimfa’s first love.
