Dion Ignacio Enjoying His Butcher Role In 'Inamorata'

DION IGNACIO is understandably flattered each time people say that his acting has improved a lot, especially in “Inamorata”, where he plays the role of a butcher in love with Max Collins. “Nakakatuwa nga kapag naririnig kong sinasabi nilang may lalim na raw ang acting ko,” he tells us when we visited the set of “Inamorata” in Sumulong Highway in Antipolo.

To what will he credit this? “More than anything else, siguro dahil sa nag-mature na rin ako. Marami na akong naging experiences sa buhay. Unlike noong bagong pasok ako sa StarStruck, teenager pa lang ako at wala pang masyadong alam. Also, mas naging serious din ako sa outlook ko sa buhay ko, sa career ko. Gusto ko talagang mapagbuti ang trabaho ko. Kaya nakatulong din ang workshops na kinuha ko, mostly kay Direk Gina Alajar, para mag-improve ang acting techniques ko. Una kong natutuhan, ang tamang paraan ng pagde-deliver ng dialogue. Kasi dati, sinasabi nila, parang wala akong emosyon. Ngayon, hindi na. Mas nahasa na ako.”

He also credits the stars he has worked with. “Kasi kapag magaling ang kaeksena mo, mas inspirado ka sa harap ng kamera, gaya kay Bela Padilla nang maging magkapareha kami before sa ‘Magdalena’. At ngayon, yung mga kasama ko rito sa ‘Inamorata’, sina Max Collins, Jackie Rice, Luis Alandy, pati sina Pinky Amador at Lovely Rivero. Malaki talaga ang nagiging tulong nila sa akin to be a better actor.”
