Jericho, happy for Sam

By Karen Valeza | Yahoo! Southeast Asia Newsroom – 12 hours ago
Jericho Rosales is happy for his fellow Kapamilya artist and friendSam Milby who is currently pursuing his Hollywood dream.

Jericho and Sam have always been vocal about their hopes of making it in Hollywood, and are working hard to reach their goal.

Jericho topbilled the international movie “Subject: I Love You,” featuring Hollywood stars Dean Cain, Dante Basco and Briana Evigan. He enrolled in an acting class at New York Film Academy last August.

Meanwhile, Sam will stay in the US for three months starting February 2012 for more auditions and to meet other network executives. Sam gave up big projects in the Philippines since he thinks prospects of making it in Hollywood are “very promising.”

On being compared to Sam

“Kino-compare ako kay Sam kasi we both went to the States. I’m very happy for Sam. It’s good to have that opportunity. Wala ka naman masamang tinapay doon. It’s good if he opens door, just like what Cesar Montano has done before. I wish him all the best,” Jericho said at the press launch of his newest endorsement, Vantage Double-bladed Razors, at Area 05 in Tomas Morato, Quezon City on November 24.

Jericho thinks Sam has an advantage in Hollywood since he was born and raised in the US. Jericho adds that his freind is very familiar with the culture and language there.

“First of all, pasok na pasok siya doon kasi yung accent niya and everything. So, he won’t have a hard time. And he really wanted it, so it’s good. It’s an opportunity for him and I want to support my fellow actors,” Jericho reveals.

Acting class in the US

Jericho shared that he never had the chance to audition in the U.S. due to lack of time, but he learned how acting auditions work.

“Yung pinunta ko doon sa States, it’s always good to enhance yourself pagdating sa trabaho mo. And acting is something na hindi mo dapat pabayaan,” Jericho points out.

Do comparisons with Sam affect him?

“Hindi naman ako naapektuhan. I just don’t want people to create issue,” Jericho replies.

He insists that people should stop creating issues and rumors and just support him and Sam instead.

“We should all be happy, nasa isang sector lang tayo ng industriya. We have a dying industry, kung ibabase ko sa mga storya ng mga beterano. So the best thing we can do is be happy and be supportive of each other,” Jericho goes on.
