Milby: The next big Hollywood movie star
Milby: The next big Hollywood movie star
MANILA, Philippines – Sam Milby admits that he is apprehensive about his plan to move to New York next month in order to pursue a career in Hollywood.
A big reason is that he dreads that his fans here might forget about him in his absence.
"Siyempre, nandun yung kaba," said he in a report on PEP. "Napaka-importante talaga na nakikita ka ng tao sa TV. So, it's something that you do fear.”
Despite his trepidation, Milby knows that the chance to shine in the international stage is something he can’t afford to pass up.
“Opportunities like this don't come for anyone," he acknowledged.
But as to what that “opportunity” actually is, Milby is keeping mum, admitting only to having done an “audition” that was “liked” by a “station.” Apparently, as Milby himself would reveal, nothing is concrete as yet in relation to an actual project.
“But still, the fact that the station really liked it [the audition], it's really a big thing na din,” he pointed out.
"I'm not expecting, but I'm very, very hopeful. Ayokong iniisip ng mga tao, 'Anong project ang gagawin ni Sam sa States, e, wala pa naman.'
Pero I just pray that I will get a project,” he added.
First thing, though, is that he has to find a talent agent to represent him.
"Yeah, one of the hardest things is finding an agency,” he mulled aloud.
When compared with actor Jericho Rosales, who, last year, successfully penetrated the international film market via the indie, “Subject: I Love You,” Milby was more than cordial.
"Expected naman ‘yun,” he said. "He's [Jericho] actually ahead of me kasi may nagawa na siyang Hollywood movie, so that's a big thing already. I'm very, very happy for him and I hope that things will work out for him too.
"Pero ayoko ng comparison. No matter who makes it to another country, that's our success, the Philippines, para yun sa buong Pilipinas."
Milby's New York stint will last for three months.
