Philippine Cosplay King, Prince De Guzman landed his first acting role for a film on Janno Gibbs’ first movie as a director, “Itutumba ka ng Tatay Ko” which is showing in Philippine cinemas this January 24. He will be playing the bad father Mr. Vasquez, father of the bully Ethan Vasquez played by Robbie Wachtel.

Prince De Guzman is known for his top tier cosplays like Pennywise from IT movie, Valak from The Nun 2, Piccolo from Dragonball Z and many more. The Filipino cosplayer also has a Youtube and Tiktok account with 1.6 Million subscribers

How he got casted?

Janno Gibbs himself reached out to me and asked me if I could be part of his first film. That is one of the best days of my life because I am huge fan or Mr. Janno Gibbs and until now, I can’t still imagine that I got to work with a person whom I’ve admired for a very long time.

How do you feel seeing yourself on the big screen for the first time?

The casts and some special guests saw the film at the red-carpet premiere. I was very emotional the entire film not only because the movie is quality and delivered a roller coaster of emotions but being a cinephile who loves to act and portray, it’s overwhelming to see yourself on the cinema screen. I was almost in tears when I saw my name in the main credits. I mean, the reason why I cosplayed is because I always dream to be an actor and portray different characters on screen or onstage. My teenage dream happened that night.

Are you moving on from cosplay and will focus on your acting career?

Being a cosplayer and content creator is something that I’d always love to do and I will continue my passion for cosplay and story-telling through my video contents. But to be honest, I feel like it’s healthy for me to finally try to reach my first love which is acting. In this film, I felt growth not just as an artist but as a person as well.

His scene is one of Janno Gibbs’s most favorite scenes

When I asked Janno Gibbs what was the scene that he is very excited for the audience to see, I was surprised that he and the film editors said that my scene is one of their top favorites. I cannot say much but my screentime is action packed with a very funny plot twist. I am so happy that this is my first film role because it’s just so good and memorable.
