Dennis Trillo wishes to be a time traveller

















If versatility was a currency, then Dennis Trillo is definitely a millionaire.He has proven, for the past 11 years and counting, that he can sink his teeth into any role given to him. He showed bravado when he broke away from his leading man stance and instead took on a not-your-usual gay lover character, a role that endeared him to the viewers and sealed his versatility as an actor.


Five months after his sensational portrayal of “Eric del Mundo” in My Husband’s Lover, fans are wondering what’s next for the Kapuso actor.


“Since ‘yung huli kong ginawa medyo mabigat na kwento, parang sa susunod ko gusto ko mas magaan, mas light. Parang romantic comedy or action. Gusto ko malayo sa My Husband’s Lover,” Dennis began.


Such statement should not be dismissed as slacking on his part. Dennis defends that even a light material can test the capacity of an actor. “’Yung nagpapa-shine naman sa isang aktor, hindi naman puro mabibigat na eksena eh. Isang factor na magpapakinang sa kanya lalo eh ‘yung pagiging versatile n’ya, ‘yung magiging convincing pa rin s’ya. Hindi lang puro iyak,” he said.

Dennis walked his talk when he decided to accept the role of Eric. He was given a choice to play either Vincent or Eric in MHL, but Dennis felt that Vincent is similar to his previous role as Marcel in Temptation of Wife, thus he challenged himself on playing Eric.  

“Kailangan meron ka ding mai-o-offer na iba dahil kung puro mabibigat na eksena ang binigay mo sa kanila (televiewers), baka mapagod sila kakapanood sa’yo,” the seasoned actor warned.

Dennis shared one particular role he thinks will further test his acting prowess. “Parang gusto ko time traveller. Kung napanood n’yo ‘yung Quantum Leap dati, ‘yun ang gusto ko.”

He expounded, “Weekly anthology. Every week ibang storya, ibang period. Para hindi malimitahan na puro drama lang, isang kwento lang.”  

The actor also veers away from “formula”-driven stories; he believes that there are still a lot of stories waiting to be told. Dennis cited one, “Katulad nung ginagawa ng mga Koreano, pinapakita nila ‘yung kultura nila. Dun sila nakikilala. Gusto ko sana ma-highlight pa ‘yung ibang kwento.”

He is in no hurry and opts to take his time until a project fitting to the achiever that he is comes. “Bihira ‘yung makakuha ka ng kwento na talagang gusto mo, ‘yung mafu-fulfill ‘yung needs mo bilang isang actor,” he notes.

As for the fans’ clamor for a My Husband’s Lover Book 2, Dennis is not dismissing the possibility. He said, “Katulad ng ibang fans, naniniwala din ako na may hope. Sana wag mawala ‘yung desire nila na mag-abang pa ng susunod na kabanata.”

Whichever comes first, an MHL Book 2 or a time travel anthology, we’re confident that Dennis will again exceed our expectations; that, after all, has been is indelible mark.

What do you think Dennis’ next role should be?
