Biz insiders admire JC de Vera’s devotion to his craft. Since he moved to the Kapatid network, the young actor has become more driven to give his best for every assignment.

His first TV vehicle on TV5 was a blockbuster drama special where he portrayed varied roles. Originally planned as a five-week drama series, it was extended to eight weeks, having rated high on prime time.

JC’s next outing was a light romantic-comedy, “Basta Driver Sweet Lover” where he was paired with Danita Paner, who is romantically linked to him.

Danita’s strict mom, Daisy Romualdez still says, “Hindi ko sila mapipigilan kung talagang nagkakagustuhan sila. As long as they give their work priority, I wish them happiness together.”

In JC de Vera’s current starrer, “Ang Utol kong Hoodlum,” the actor has to prepare harder than he did for his earlier jobs for the network. He is currently taking an advance course in martial arts and continuing his bodybuilding program.

The part has been twice played by Robin Padilla; JC doesn’t want to suffer in comparison with the action idol.

A bit controversial, the role is more than a tough character. JC particularly loves his good heart and respect for justice.

He has been taping the show with a new leading lady, Jasmine Curtis Smith, Anne’s younger sister.

“I am prepared for the difficult action sequences,” JC told the Inquirer, smiling. “But I am still contemplating the tender, intimate moments in the story. I am glad, those scenes will be shot much later.”
