Diether Ocampo is back on big screen with ‘Sunday Night Fever’

Seasoned actor Diether Ocampo is set for his big screen debut in a long time via the upcoming independent film “Sunday Night Fever.”

Top-billed by Ocampo, sexy actress Nathalie Hart and veteran actor Ricky Davao, the film also stars Fabio Ide, Mailes Kanapi, Tanya Gomez and Lui Manansala. It was written by John Bedia and directed by Lemuel Lorca.

Among those who made an announcement about the movie is seasoned entertainment journalist Mell Navarro on Facebook.

Although he has been seen in Kapamilya primetime series “Bagani,” Ocampo last appeared in movies in 2012 in the movie “24/7 In Love.”

Ocampo started his career in the Kapamilya (ABS-CBN) network as one of its most bankable teen stars back in the ’90s. He is mostly remembered as the perennial third party to the then hit love team of Claudine Barretto and the late Rico Yan. He was once married to actress Kristine Hermosa but they separated in 2005 when Hermosa filed for annulment of their marriage.

During his career hiatus, Ocampo spent his time in the US West Coast, where he became a registered pilot, dabbled in digital photography and attended some acting classes and workshops.
