Rock band ChicoSci's lead vocalist Miggy Chavez surprised his fans last Christmas with a bit role in Segunda Mano.
He played the car driver, whose reckless actions eventually set the movie's plot into motion.
Although it's not his first time to act in front of the camera—his band's music videos sometimes require acting—he considered his Metro Manila film Festival stint a refreshing experience.
In an interview with PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) on January 13 at Eastwood Central Plaza, where his band did a show to promote the compilation album 90s Music Comes Alive, Miggy said, "It was like me going out of my comfort zone, but it was fun.
"I had fun naman kasi it was something I normally wouldn't have done, but I liked it."
The "Unbelievable" singer says he really enjoyed working on mainstream cinema and wouldn't mind doing it again.
"Kung may mag-offer ulit in the future, 'di ba, why not?
"I mean, kung may mag-offer lang, I don't wanna expect naman.
"But if may mag-offer and I think I can do it, and it's not naman a super corny project, then, why not?"
The downside of it: long hours of work.
According to him, he had been idle on the set for quite sometimes before he was called to do his scene.
"It was hard, like, super tagal namin doon just for that 30 seconds na screen time," he said, thinking that he should have asked some advice from his grandmother, veteran actress Ester Chavez.
When asked about his dream leading lady, Miggy answered Heart Evangelista and Anne Curtis.
TATTOOS ANSD KICKS. Apart from playing and making music, the 30-year-old Miggy is also passionate about sneakers and tattoos.
In his Tumblr blog, the singer-songwriter would usually post photos of his favorite kicks, most of them are Nikes under the Michael Jordan or SB (which stands for skateboarding) brands.
