NEW YORK, NY – It’s been a month since Fil-Am actor and singer Sam Milby moved to New York to chase his American dream. Milby wants to become a star in mainstream US television. He has gone through nine auditions for roles in TV pilots for major networks and is now waiting to hear from casting agents and directors.
“Yes it is stressful. I hear good things and good feedback, but I wonder, am I going to get a call back?” Milby said.
As he anxiously awaits the coveted good news, he is now considering enrolling in acting classes & workshops in New York City to further hone his talent.
Milby has also moved out of his Brooklyn flat and transferred to a smaller but more expensive apartment in SOHO, Manhattan’s shopping district.
But even in this busy neighborhood, Milby stands out in the crowd.
“I can’t believe it, out of nowhere in the whole world in SOHO, we see Sam Milby,” tourist Roxy Medina from Sydney, Australia said.
“We wish Sam Milby the best, I know that he’s been in a lot of Filipino things already, so he’s going to be big in America too. We wish him all the best. He makes us Filipinos proud,” Annie Antonio said.
While Milby has been getting nothing but support from his fans, some critics say making it in Hollywood is easier said than done.
“It seems impossible to break into Hollywood. But even if nothing happens this year, I’m not going to give up,” Milby said.
The actor who became known in the Philippines says, he still believes that something good will come out of his journey.
“I already have the step ahead of being with such a good agency and that in itself is hard to find. So If I have such a good agency that believes in me, it’s just maybe the right project has not come for me yet this season,” Milby said.
