Television

Thanks for all the love on The Twilight Zone!

I just wanted to put out a big thank you to everyone that watched my episode of The Twilight Zone!

It’s currently streaming on CBS All Access, I’m on episode 3, “The Who of You,” which stars other great actors Ethan Embry, Billy Porter and Mel Rodriguez, directed by the wonderful Peter Atencio, produced by Jordan Peele.

It was such a joyous experience to work on my first television show here in Vancouver. It’s been a dream and cannot wait to do more wonderful work in this city. I know times are tough and it’s been a crazy world, but there is lots to be hopeful about. Lots of magic in the air as the world gets its shit together and cleans up. Be nice to one another, stay healthy and happy, be clean, wash your hands and wear a mask in public! It’s important to note that we’re all in this together and we should be acting in unity and community.

Much love,

JMC

Here's the clip from my episode of @thetwilightzone ! Season 2 Episode 3 - The Who of You! Directed by @atencio I am over the moon with excitement to share this with the world. This is by far the most fun I've had in a role, and my first principal role acting in Vancouver. I got to work with the incredible @realmelrodriguez who made me laugh to pieces in @officiallastman and now freaked me out every take we did of this scene. It was such an honor to work opposite of him even for these few moments. The use of this really tiny camera to shoot these eyeball explosions blew my mind and now I can say I've had my Requiem for a Dream moment! It was dope to see my buddy @labanpitmanjohnson at the cafe acting his way on set too! @paolomaiolo and I did take after take of running down Carrall St. in Gastown! It was the first time I'd ever have to do a scene where there was a crowd of people (probably tourists) watching and filming as I prepped to turn a corner and run with this foot brace 😂 Thanks to the amazing @directorlashlauro for being my first stunt guy ever and taking this hit from @robvhayley ! A drunk Irish guy watching literally ran out during a take and asked if he was alright cause he saw him get tackled hahaha, and it blew his mind that we were filming a TV show! And shout outs to @jayhindle to take the money and run, your reaction at the end is priceless!! Thanks so much to @jordanpeele and @cbsallaccess for producing such a cool episode and hope to work with ya again in the future! My favourite moment on set was thanking Peter Atencio at the end of the first day and saying, "hey I have message for Jordan Peele," I look around to see if anyone was looking and say, "I saiiiiid biiiiiiitch!" as Peter chuckled his ass off accepting the homage. Enjoy the Twilight Zone my friends you're stepping into a trip, I know I did! . . . . . #TwilightZone #PeterAtencio #JordanPeele #MelRodriguez #JoelChico #CBS #Film #Television #Acting #Actor #Writer #Director #Star #Famous #Celebrity #Action #Stunts #Hollywood #HollywoodNorth #Vancouver #Canada #Filipino #FilipinoActor #Ethnicity #AsianActor #Phillipines #Toronto #Camera #Video #IGTV
