Alex Medina Nominated As Best Actor But He's Realistic Enough To Say Someone Else Would Win

ALEX MEDINA is nominated as best actor in some award giving bodies for his effective portrayal of an internet scammer in “Babagwa”, but he’s not expecting to win. “Para namang malayo akong manalo e nandiyan si Joel Torre who gives to very good performances last year in ‘On the Job’ and ‘Kabisera’,” says. “Happy na lang akong nominated din ako at ang ‘Babagwa’, kunsaan-saang festivals abroad na napasali at napuri.”

He now does a mainstream movie, the horror film “Third Eye” for Regal Entertainment, and he’s glad to be working with co-actors from the two top networks: Carla Abellana, Camille Prats from GMA and Ejay Falcon, Denise Laurel from ABS-CBN. “Siempre kabado ako noong una kasi akong pinakabago sa kanila, but they all turned out to be nice to work with, pati na si Direk Aloy Adlawan na ngayon ko rin lang nakatrabaho.”

What’s his role? “I play Camille Prats’ husband. Pero may hiwagang nakabalot sa pagkatao namin. Eventually, magtataka ang viewers: ano ba kami, multo o evil creatures lang? Nakakatakot talaga ang buong concept ng movie. Tiyak na nenerbyusin ang viewers sa pagsunod nila kay Carla nang matuklasan nito ang isang village full of the undead. Kaya ang mahihilig sa horror movies, humanda na sila kasi kakaibang uri ng pananakot ang dala ng ‘Third Eye’.”
