“Maybe aesthetically he looks mayabang or pompous but I think you’ll be quite surprised with what we’re trying to achieve with Troy in this show. I know the trailer doesn’t show it yet but that’s the beauty of this show eh. The plots are so surprising, with the script our mind was blown. This role is not the stereotypical bad politician role,” he said.

“I’m not really worried about being typecast because that’s why I do make an effort to make a complete transformation with every role that I do. Whether it be physically or mentally. I try to make every role different and even if something was similar, I would do my homework and still try to make it different even if it was an arrogant bad guy type of role. That’s the beauty of being an actor, we’re portraying people eh,” he explained.

In order to get into his role, Jake said he does a major deep dive into the character. “So I think every person is different. People might do similar things but in different circumstances with different justifications as to why they did those certain things. Yun yung laging sinusundan as an actor, tao muna. That’s when the character becomes at least for me three-dimensional,” he added.
