00:00I saw that you already have 18 major awards, is that right?
00:05I don't know.
00:06I checked your Wikipedia, 18.
00:08Wow, that's a lot. I'm not counting.
00:10I did my research, 18.
00:12That's what you were reading earlier.
00:14Hello everyone, I'm Dennis Trillo.
00:17And I'm Sam Milby.
00:18And today, we're doing Esquire Philippines one-on-one.
00:31Do you have any hidden vocal talents?
00:34Like beatboxing or yodeling that you've never shared with your fans?
00:40I wish.
00:42I really wish.
00:43Actually, I've always wanted to learn how to beatbox.
00:47I don't have that.
00:49Really? You've never tried?
00:51I tried. I tried and failed.
00:53It's not like that.
00:54You can sample it.
00:56Oh no, I failed.
00:59Really?
01:01I'll try.
01:03But I've always wanted to.
01:05You?
01:07My hidden vocal talent,
01:09I don't know if a lot of my fans know this,
01:11I really like to rap.
01:15No way!
01:17When I was young,
01:19that's what I studied.
01:21Rapping.
01:23Andrew E. Francis.
01:25He can rap as well.
01:27I can't.
01:29So,
01:31sample it.
01:33Sample?
01:35Here we go.
01:37Check this out, y'all.
01:55Sample?
02:07What's that?
02:09Rapper, rapper, bro.
02:11Huh?
02:13Brandy Samuel.
02:15Brandy Samuel.
02:17Okay.
02:19I don't know.
02:21I was like, are you freestyling right now?
02:24Memorize it.
02:26What's one musical instrument
02:28you wish you could master overnight?
02:30Piano.
02:32Hey, we're the same.
02:34Piano, really.
02:36Because I want to study music production here.
02:40And in music production,
02:42of course,
02:44in all the instruments
02:46that people use,
02:48in the digital audio workspace,
02:50you use the keyboard.
02:52Most of the time,
02:54biggest frustration.
02:56What's the weird food combination
02:58that you secretly love, but for others,
03:00it's super weird?
03:02Maybe this is something I recently discovered.
03:04Actually, my wife
03:06is the legend.
03:08For Sinigang,
03:10there's a dipping sauce
03:12with fish sauce
03:14and there's sugar.
03:16There's sugar?
03:18Yes.
03:21There's fish sauce and sugar.
03:23There's a lot of sugar.
03:25I don't know.
03:27It's a trip.
03:29It's okay.
03:31It's weird.
03:33Try it.
03:35I'll maybe try that.
03:37If you weren't in showbiz,
03:39what do you think
03:41you'd be doing right now?
03:43I think
03:45as a musician,
03:47I love music.
03:49It's my first passion.
03:51And this year,
03:53I want to do music production.
03:55I really want to,
03:57in terms of sound engineering,
03:59I want to even become
04:01color grading.
04:03I even have the controller for color grading.
04:05For movies?
04:07I do very basic
04:09video editing.
04:13Computers and tech stuff.
04:15I'm very introvert.
04:18I like to stay home a lot.
04:20So,
04:22what do you do?
04:24What's something
04:26you're really proud of?
04:28Yes,
04:30I saw
04:3218 major
04:34awards.
04:36I don't know.
04:38I checked your wikipedia.
04:40Wow, there's a lot.
04:42I did my research.
04:4418.
04:46Aside from the awards
04:48we receive from artists,
04:50I think having
04:52a complete family
04:54is the most important thing.
04:56At the end of the day,
04:58all the hard work you put in
05:00as an artist,
05:02whatever you do,
05:04you do it for the family.
05:06I think
05:08it's good to feel
05:10that you have someone
05:12who helps you.
05:15And maintain
05:17a happy life.
05:19Cheers!
05:21That's right.
05:23When you only live for yourself,
05:25it's not a habit.
05:27When you're serving other people,
05:29you're giving to them.
05:31You have a purpose
05:33in your family.
05:35That's important.
05:37Who is an actor
05:39you've worked with
05:41that has taught you a valuable lesson
05:43about the craft?
05:45Have you worked with a lot of people
05:47who teach you?
05:49Yes, a lot.
05:51I came from TVB.
05:53I was in the first season of TVB.
05:55It wasn't a search
05:57to become an artist.
05:59But when TVB House came out,
06:01all the housemates
06:03became artists.
06:05It was such a phenomenal show.
06:07I have no experience in acting
06:09or singing.
06:12It was just a few commercials.
06:14My first movie was Direk Cathy.
06:16Close to you.
06:18With Jonoid and Dea.
06:20I was so lucky
06:22that I was the first
06:24to work with them.
06:26It was the biggest love we met.
06:28At that time also,
06:30it was with Jonoid and Dea.
06:32For me,
06:34it was a learn as you go.
06:36I didn't know Tagalog.
06:38It was really a learn as I go.
06:40My first TV show was
06:42Maging Sino Ko.
06:44It was with Pip,
06:46Anne, Jonoid and Dea.
06:48It was more with
06:50Shinji Gutierrez.
06:52I was given
06:54such a big opportunity
06:56to work with
06:58veteran actors.
07:00People that I could learn
07:02so much from.
07:04I remember one thing
07:06that Direk Cathy said.
07:09New actors,
07:11they like big movements.
07:13As Direk Cathy said before,
07:15I know it's not an actor's perspective,
07:17but she said,
07:19sometimes less is more.
07:21Especially in movies,
07:23because it's a bigger screen.
07:25A small movement
07:27maximizes the big screen.
07:31The smaller the movement,
07:33sometimes it's more just...
07:35Don't do a lot of movements
07:37It's connecting
07:39with your co-actor also.
07:41Less is more.
07:43It's easy to remember.
07:45It's easy to apply.
07:47What's a skill
07:49you're trying to learn
07:51before and after?
07:53The one we talked about earlier,
07:55I'm also a frustrated guitarist.
07:57Although I know
07:59the basics of reading chords,
08:01but drums,
08:03plucking,
08:06it's hard.
08:08Guitar and piano,
08:10but I never tried the piano.
08:12I only tried the
08:14Simply Piano app.
08:18I have Playground
08:20or something.
08:24Simply Piano is also
08:26what we like.
08:28I don't have that.
08:30I need time.
08:36I was excited
08:38because I haven't worked with him yet.
08:40I remember
08:42the first time I worked with him.
08:44We did an ad with
08:46Ginger Latchian.
08:48It was a long time ago.
08:50It was in...
08:52Batangas?
08:54Pasig?
08:56Yes, I remember.
08:58In that open area.
09:00It was in different locations.
09:02It was on an island.
09:04We took pictures
09:06with plated cards.
09:08We did that.
09:10We were together.
09:12It was before
09:142006 or 2007.
09:18Before that,
09:20I did a close-up commercial.
09:24I also auditioned there.
09:28I was in the final casting.
09:30When I saw the commercial,
09:33I was like,
09:35he's the one who was removed.
09:39Those were our first encounters.
09:43I learned about my work.
09:45I said,
09:47I'm sure there's a lot to do.
09:49It's a long project.
09:51I was excited but a little intimidated
09:53because it was the last movie
09:55I watched with him.
09:57I was thinking,
09:59what if I pass?
10:01I was wrong.
10:03He's really good.
10:05He's a good guy.
10:07He's humble and down-to-earth.
10:09He's simple.
10:11He's generous.
10:13I was excited to work with him.
10:17Same feeling.
10:19I was really excited
10:21because it was my first time
10:23watching the original.
10:25It's a beautiful story.
10:28It's really a nice,
10:30cute story.
10:32I found the character
10:34different.
10:36Something I haven't done before.
10:38Challenging.
10:40I was able to do it well
10:42because it was a very challenging role for me.
10:44Very different.
10:46I was excited
10:48because the movie we did together,
10:50Jen,
10:52it did well.
10:54I enjoyed working with her.
10:56Director Lana.
10:58Yeah, Jun Lana.
11:00It was a lot of fun.
11:02And of course,
11:04the 18 multi-awarded Dennis Trillo.
11:08It was the first time
11:10we worked together.
11:12But when we were working,
11:14we were doing the workshops.
11:16He's not show-based.
11:18Just very genuine,
11:20very authentic,
11:22very down-to-earth.
11:25Alright, guys.
