Anim na taon nang nakakontrata si Dominic Roco sa GMA Artist Center, ang talent arm ng Kapuso network, ngunit pakiramdam ng young actor ay hindi pa siya nabibigyan ng tamang break. Sabi niya tungkol dito, “I leave that to Artist Center. Sila na po bahala. If they think I’m ready na for a lead role movie, so I’m just waiting…”

Nakapanayam ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) ang young actor na si Dominic Roco sa promo ng bago nitong indie film, Ang Nawawala (What Isn’t There).

Ito ang unang lead role ni Dominic sa pelikula.

Directed by Marie Jamora, na siya ring sumulat ng script with Ramon de Veyra, ang Ang Nawawala ay official entry sa New Breed section ng Cinemalaya 2012.

Kasama rin sa cast ang kakambal ni Dominic na si Felix Roco, Boboy Garrovillo, Marc Abaya, Annicka Dolonius, at Dawn Zulueta.

Ano ba ang kuwento ng Ang Nawawala?

Ayon kay Dominic, “Yung story ng Ang Nawawala is about a young man who doesn’t speak, kasi may nangyaring traumatic experience nung bata siya na he witnessed. 

“So from there, I chose not to talk.

“It’s my first full-length film and it’s the biggest project of my career so far.

“The cast was really fun to work with, sila Ms. Dawn, sina Sir Boboy.”

Ano ang challenge sa kanya ng kanyang role?

“With this character, this is the most challenging role that I have ever tackled. Kasi hindi ako nagsasalita, kaya I had to double the effort.”

FIRST-TIME DIRECTOR. Kumusta ang first-time director niyang si Marie Jamora na nagdidirek na ng TV commercials and music videos?

“Perfectionist ang director namin, which I like. Kasi tutok siya sa movie niya, which is good, which is tama. 

“Sana lahat ng directors ganun. 

“Each scene, they discuss, they talk about it. What’s wrong, what’s right.

    i think isa din sa reason ay meron kasi siyang kambal at pareho yung ginagawa nila kaya medyo mahirap gumawa ng sariling identity...it's good na nag indie siya baka pag nag best actor dun siya mapansin.,,

    Wow, at talagang nagbibigay pa ng English profeciency ang GMA talent center. narealize cguro ng gma na nahahawa ang mga artists at talents nila kay MR na waley na waleyang English. Pero, good job na rin GMA for the english profeciency kase kailangan na kailangan yan ng artists nyo. Cguro sobrang madugo ang training ni MR dito pag mag workshop cya sa Engish profeciency ng GMA talent center kawawa naman ang kapuso teachers.

    To Rodgie87 and others. Im just very articlate when it comes to the english language. Me too i agree and admit sometimes my english is a little mistake like spelling due to my iPhone4s autocorrect PERO im improving kaya nga i will study abroad in a good kinda expensive school outside the Philippines to wider my knowledge about english language. As what my idol i quote Sen. Miriam said in the interview we all are intillegent and equal in all our minds the only difference is some people are not the same. Hinde talga yun yung exact words pero the taught is there right?

    STOP writing in English. This only proves that you and others like you, so called Kapalmilya Fantards are not really world class at all!

    I agree with him, sayang siya kung hindi siya mabibigyan ng break. Ngayong wala na si Ida Henares at pinalitan ng mas bata at new blood, hopefully may magawa ang Artist Center para mabigyan ng opportunity ang kanilang mga talent na may potential talaga at hindi yung pare parehong mukha na lang nakikita mo sa mga shows nila.
