“Bata pa lang ako napapanood na kita sa TV.” I gladly informed Marcus Madrigal during the sneak preview of the indie film “Sa Pagdapo ng Mariposa”.
Marcus Madrigal is not a newbie in the entertainment scene. He was launched as a member of the Star Circle Batch 6 in 1996 and eventually had numerous tv guestings in ABS-CBN. He later on joined in the Regal Films’ rooster of talents and groomed him to be one of its leading men and bravely joined the sexy bandwagon and was casted in sexy yet award-winning films such as Live Show and Pila Balde, where he garnered two best actor nominations.
So whatever happened to him after doing these films? No, he didn’t take any legal steroids like some of his contemporaries. He told me that he joined in a theater group and learned to love it. He had a tv comeback more than a year ago through the tv show Bakekang as Sheryl Cruz’ lover. He later on appeared in top rating kapuso shows such as Pati Ba Pintig ng Puso?, Pasan ko ang Daigdig and Kamandag.
In the movie, he played the role of a sepak takraw player who was badly injured in a championship game. During his recuperation period, he developed a special friendship with his caregiver (played by Josh Deocareza) and later on developed an unlikely physical attraction. His character is confused and unable to control his male urges since he is a highly sexual person before the accident took place.
Marcus Madrigal accepted the movie because of it’s story and the character he is about to portray is something that is new to him-something he had never done before. “Nasa characters yung mystery nito. You have to watch it to see how it will unfold”.
I asked Marcus what he can say about the Hubo Team. “Magaling sila at napaka-creative nila. Gusto ko ngang makasali sa upcoming projects nila especially yung pinakita sa teaser kanina na intended for 2010.”
Sa Pagdapo ng Mariposa is his first independent film to date. We are hoping that we will see more of him both in tv and films. We need good actors like him who is passionate in his chosen field.
