Roi Vinzon Proud To Be The Oldest Contract Star Of GMA Artist Center

ROI VINZON wants to thank GMA-7 for energizing his showbiz career. “Malaki talaga ang naitulong nila sa’kin when they got me sa ‘My Husband’s Lover’ dahil na-reintroduce ako sa today’s generation of viewers,” he says at the presscon of GMA Films’ drama-thriller, “Overtime”. “After that, kinuha naman nila ako sa ‘Carmela’ and they signed me up to an exclusive contract for three years. Ako raw ang most senior sa lahat ng artistang nakakontrata sa kanila ngayon. They’re giving me another show right away pero sabi ko, hindi ko kaya. Pahinga muna ko kasi masyadong magkasunod ang ‘MHL’ and ‘Carmela’. Tapos may movie pa ako. So rest muna ako. Meron din akong offer sa ibang network pero hindi ko na matatanggap dahil exclusive na nga ako sa GMA for now.”

But he’s thankful GMA Films got him to play villain to Richard Gutierrez in the action-suspense-thriller “Overtime”. “I really enjoyed doing the movie with Richard. First time ko siyang nakatrabaho at isa siya sa pinakamabait at considerate na artistang nakasama ko. At first, you’d think siya ang masamang tao sa pelikula dahil nilagyan niya ng bomba si Lauren Young, but later on, it will be revealed na ginawa niya yun to get back at me. It’s nice to be working with young directors in this movie. Naiiba ang touch nila at mas bagay sa generation of viewers natin today na madaling mainip.”

Don’t miss the free mall show of the “Overtime” cast led by Richard Gutierrez and Lauren Young with Renz Valeria and Roadfil of Moymoy Palaboy tomorrow, 5 PM, at SM Novaliches.
