When I saw the sneak preview of the indie film Sa Pagdapo ng Mariposa, I suspected that the lead actor who’s playing the role of Carlito Mariposa the caregiver is gay in real life.
But I was wrong.
When I saw Josh Deocareza after the sneak peak, I was stunned and amused. He dressed up like a typical guy enjoying the night. He had a longer hair compared to that of Carlito. He moved and walked like a guy with no sexuality issues unlike Carlito who is malamya.
I had a chance to have a little chat with him. For me, Josh Deocareza is one man that aspiring actors should look up to as a role model.
The 24 year old model/stage actor is a familiar face to most of us because he has done commercials in the past for KFC, Mc Donald’s Globe and more. Not only that, he also directed, written and hosted events in the past. He’s also been constantly participating in short films and independent films like Rome and Juliet, Chosuey and Baliw, where he played the lead role and he also had numerous TV appearances.
Oh wait, Did you know that this model/stage-movie-tv actor/writer/director/host is a marketing graduate of Thames International Business School? I bet you didn’t know that.
In Mariposa, Josh Deocareza plays the role of Carlito, a caregiver who is set to get married with his longtime girlfriend, but he has some personal issues that he has to face including his mysterious past and his true sexual preference. Does he know anything about colon cleanser? Just wanna ask a silly question now haha 
I asked Josh if he was a bit hesitant when the role was offered to him. He bravely admitted that he had some inhibitions upon doing some scenes, but thanks to Direk Will for relaying the whole picture of how those scenes would play an integral part in the feel in the movie. He is also not afraid of being typecast in such roles as long as that character is worth playing.
I am really impressed with his achievements in such a young age. I asked him what he plans to do next. He wishes to submit a screenplay at the Cinemalaya and he’s looking forward to working with Will Fredo and the rest of the Hubo Crew.
