Ogie Diaz, a comedian-talent manager, remarked on Kapamilya actor Ronnie Alonte’s effectiveness in the series Love in 40 Days.
Ogie revealed on Facebook that he was able to view Ronnie’s new series with his real-life girlfriend Loisa Andalio via The Filipino Channel (TFC) in the United States. The comedian-talent manager recognized a weakness in the actor’s performance.
“Hinahanap ko yung sincerity ng character sa mga mata, hindi ko naramdaman. At halatang kabisado lang ang mga linya. Walang puso ang bitaw. Parang nasa acting workshop stage pa rin siya,” Ogie Diaz commented.
He stated that Ronnie has been in the profession since 2015, but he still can not learn a basic acting pattern.
Afterwards, Ogie expressed his expectation that his management would take action. “Sana, i-workshop pa siya nang bongga ng Star Magic. Biniyayaan ka na ng magandang mukha, paglaanan din sana ng panahon ang pag-arte,” he remarked.
The comedian-talent manager also emphasized that there are performers who are not naturally attractive, but who become attractive in the eyes of the audience because of the abilities they are displaying.
He also stated that “pa-cute” will no longer satisfy in the future.
“Masarap din naman yung pinupuri ka hindi lang sa kaguwapuhan kundi sa husay din sa pag-arte. Bata pa naman si Ronnie. Kaya pa niyang ayusin at husayan,” Ogie Diaz added.
Netizens who responded on the comedian-talent manager’s article agreed with him.
Ogie does performing lessons in addition to managing artists and vlogging. He has been in the industry for many years and has the credibility to comment on the performances of entertainment celebrities.
