Sam Milby on pursuing a Hollywood career: "It's something that you do fear. At the same time, it's an opportunity that you cannot pass up."

Sam Milby will fly to New York on February 1 to pursue his dream of making it in Hollywood. He says, "I'm not expecting, but I'm very, very hopeful. Ayokong iniisip ng mga tao, 'Anong project ang gagawin ni Sam sa States, e, wala pa naman?' Pero I just pray that I will get a project. I did auditions, pero hindi naman para sa isang project, ano lang, para makita yung acting ko."

Kumpirmado na ang pag-alis sa bansa ni Sam Milby sa February 1 upang subukan ang kanyang kapalaran sa Hollywood.

Noong nakaraang taon, marami ang nagulat nang i-anunsiyo ni Sam na pansamantala niyang iiwan ang kanyang showbiz career para i-pursue ang pangarap na maka-penetrate sa Hollywood.

Dahil sa desisyon niyang ito, pinalitan na siya ni Diether Ocampo sa Alta, ang upcoming primetime series ng ABS-CBN.

Pinalitan na rin siya ni Derek Ramsay sa dapat sana'y reunion movie nila ni Bea Alonzo.

TAKING THE RISK. Sa panayam ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) kay Sam noong Linggo, January 15, sa ASAP 2012, tinanong namin siya kung hindi ba siya natatakot sa gagawing pag-alis?

Na baka sa pagkawala niyang ito sa sirkulasyon ay wala na siyang babalikang career?

Na mabale-wala lahat ng pinaghirapan niya?

"Siyempre, nandun yung kaba," pag-amin ni Sam.

"I mean, siguro kung ginawa ko yung Alta at umalis ako, at least umalis ako na may naiwan na project.

"Pero my last teleserye was last year [100 Days To Heaven].

"I did MMK [Maalaala Mo Kaya], pero that's one day lang.

"Napakaimportante talaga na nakikita ka ng tao sa TV, something they won't see in ASAP.

"Hindi natuloy yung TV, so wala ring big project I did before I left.

"So, it's something that you do fear.

"At the same time, it's an opportunity that you cannot pass up.

28 exclusibo January 19, 2012 06:43 AM Wala ng makuhang trabaho dito kaya magiging OFW na lang ang amboy. ----------------Ang sabihin mo uuwi na si SAM MILBY sa bansa nya, dito iyan ipinanganak at lumaki sa States..infact ang tatay nya ay American. Pumunta lang iyan sa Pilipinas para mag artista. Maraming nag try at nag failed sa Hollywood pero only the cream of the crop that rises to the top at hindi ikaw yon SAM. Oh well I maybe wrong, goodluck na lang kahit hindi kita type dahil taga CHEW ka!

bilib ako sa confi level mo Sam. Sorry pero 21st century na pero wala pa ring big Asian star sa Hollywood na na kasing level ng ibang minorities. Nakakainsulto nga dahil kapag may Asian star sa pelikula laging supporting role lang or extra or something mediocre. Except Jackie Chan or Jet Li pero hindi naman sila nakabase sa Hollywood eh. Wala pang Asian leading man na na serios knight in shining armor baga . Good luck.

Opinion ko lang to ha, Siguro walang pag-asang makapasok si sam dahil sa pag ka actor mukha lang siyang ordinaryo doon puwera lang kung waterboy,janitor or staff un baka may 60 percent pa, very talented naman si sam at saka ang cute cute pag sumasayaw hahaha bibong bibo tignan pero wala akong makitang gwapo sa face niya..sorry sam mag sayaw ka nalang hahaha wag lang kumanta at mag hubad super macho mo kasi..

Do a reality check SAM milby. Don't be so over confident. Already, Hollywood is super over supplied with actors. Pinoys like you because of your being amboy, mostly due to white mentality of lots of filipinos. But in Hollywood, to be frank, I don't think you stand a chance, unless you are willing to be in and be part of the crew and stars of Bel Ami productions or Titan Fresh.

last time i saw him on tv, not much of an actor. well, he can still improve and his exotic looks may get him somewhere in the america. if this is really what he wants, then go for it. at least he is doing something to pursue his dreams. good luck.
