Jericho Rosales soon to break the Hollywood

A
fter garnering international recognition, Kapamilya actor Jericho Rosales admitted that his awards would do much for him as he wants to break into Hollywood.

In an interview with “The Buzz” on Sunday, Rosales said he is trying to get in touch with writers and producers in the United States to explore more opportunities.

“Well iyon ang idea. 'Yun ang tinatrabaho ko ngayon kaya nag-extend ako sa trip namin. And I was able to meet writers, directors, may connections. It's not easy kasi you have to be there. The best talaga is to tape your shows here, and then fly for two months [to the US] and meet new people naman,” he said.

Rosales just arrived in the country from his trip in Los Angeles for the screening of his indie movie “Alagwa” at the Newport Beach Film Festival.

“Ang galing lang ng nangyari sa trip na ito kasi I met people who wanted to work with me, who expressed interest na magtrabaho kami. They actually gave me some scripts to look at and they wanted me to develop the scripts with them. I was like, ang galing naman. Hanep naman itong trip na ito,” he said.

Aside from featuring his movie at the filmfest, festival organizers also cited Rosales for his "outstanding achievement" in acting, along with Michael Shannon for "The Iceman" and Onata Aprile for "What Maisie Knew."

“Ang indie circuit kasi ang makakapagbigay sa iyo ng break somehow to mainstream. It’s the best way to cross over kasi you will get talagang solid [projects],” he said.

But aside from having a Hollywood career, Rosales said he still has a lot of dreams for the local movie industry.

“Of course for the industry may pangarap ako. Hopefully, indie filmmakers like me don’t have to travel abroad to get noticed sa Pilipinas. I just pray na we don’t have to go out of the country to make movies na talagang magaganda,” he said.

Apart from Rosales, Kapamilya actor Sam Milby has also been auditioning for Hollywood roles in the hope of launching an international career.
