Sam Milby still hopes to pursue his 'American dream'

Kapamilya heartthrob Sam Milby is not about to ditch his dream of making it big abroad. Almost two years ago, Sam temporarily moved to New York to audition for shows and he managed to impress an American TV network executive in one of his US tours.

They're really looking for diversity and that was what I was told when I was doing auditions in the States na 'yun talaga ang hinahanap nila.
