NELSON CANLAS,GMA News There was a point during our recent GMA News Interviews conversation with Anton Vinzon and Bruce Roeland for their action series " Kamao " when I caught myself just watching Anton speak. Not because he was trying too hard to impress. But because I suddenly remembered the first time I interviewed him for " Mga Batang Riles ." Back then, Anton was painfully shy. Very soft spoken. The kind of newcomer who looked like he was still asking himself if he truly belonged in showbiz.

This Holy Week in Pampanga, Yasser Marta steps into one of the most demanding roles an actor can face: portraying Hesus in a senakulo. Yasser is a Muslim actor, so it naturally draws curiosity. He is Portuguese-Tausug, with his mother hailing from Jolo, Sulu. And while that background shapes who he is, he doesn't plan on carrying it into the role as a statement. Yasser intends to approach the role with the mindset of an actor focused on the responsibility of the part.
