Mark Herras Fans Say He Should Be Billed Ahead Of Sam Pinto In 'Hitman'

SOME FOLKS are urging Mark Herras to complain about his billing in “Hitman” since he is billed below the title whereas newcomer Sam Pinto is billed prominently and much ahead of him. Compared to Sam, he has had starring roles before in the films he did with Jennylyn Mercado and he’s certainly much more senior than her.

But Mark says is not a big issue for him. “I trust Kuya Buboy (Cesar Montano) kung saan nila ko ilalagay,” he says. “I have a good role in ‘Hitman’, pero support pa rin. Si Sam, siya ang leading lady kaya dapat lang kasama siya ni Kuya Buboy sa top billing.”

He’s just happy to be part of the movie. “I’m hoping this will open doors for me para mas mabigyan ako ng more challenging roles, kahit may pagkakontrabida basta markado, like my role here as Alvin. Feeling ko, nagpaka-aktor ako rito and I want to thank Kuya Phillip Salvador dahil he served as my acting coach na tinulungan ako in interpreting my role, lalo roon sa eksenang may mahaba akong monologue. Natuwa ako nang i-congratulate nila ako ni Kuya Buboy after the take. First time ko rin dito to do action scenes na nakikipagbarilan ako. Ninerbiyos ako noong una kasi hindi naman ako sanay humawak at magpaputok ng baril, but with their guidance nagawa ko rin ng tama. I feel so lucky na makatrabaho ang magagaling na senior actors like them, pati si Kuya Ricky Davao na siyang crime lord dito.”

On TV, Mark is all set to start taping the new soap “Hiram na Puso” with Kris Bernal soon on GMA-7. He is also joining the mall tour of “Hitman” on February 12 at SM Southmall and February 19 at Trinoma, 5PM. The movie opens on February 22 with premiere night at SM Megamall on February 21.
