Hindi lamang ang Singaporean star na si Raynold Tan ang bida sa The Day I Loved You dahil pinangungunahan din ito ni Tommy Alejandrino, ang best actor ng 18th Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival noong August 2022.
Si Tommy ang nagwagi na best actor dahil sa kanyang mahusay na pagganap sa The Baseball Player, samantalang ang The Day I Loved ang bagong Boys Love series ng Regal Entertainment Inc.
"Kahit gay ang karakter na kanyang ginagampanan sa nabanggit na BL series, hindi natatakot si Tommy na ma-typecast sa ganoong klase ng role sa mga susunod na proyekto niya.
"Ang akin lang, siguro kahit sino namang artista, ayaw ma-typecast, o baka yung iba, okay sa kanila.
"Pero ang akin lang, if there’s another BL that would be offered to me, I wouldn’t just say no if it reminded me of my character in this series.
"As long as I really like the script, I really like the story, and if its excites me, I would not be afraid of being typecast.
"Wala rin naman akong intention of repeating certain roles that would be comfortable already with me.
"But like I said, if another BL comes, as long as it excites and thrills me, I would most likely say yes," ang pahayag ni Tommy.
Nakausap si Tommy ng entertainment writers sa ginanap na digital media conference ng The Day I Loved You.
Nang tanungin tungkol sa aral na matututunan ng publiko sa BL series nila ni Raynold, ipinaubaya ni Tommy sa manonood ang paghuhusga.
"Hindi ko lang alam, nasa iyo na yon, pero I think it’s very timely because it’s very aligned with the talks about LGBTQ and relating to our friends who are queer and who are non-queer.
"It’s very set now so it's contemporary and it’s lighthearted and fun, so I hope that maybe they can learn to see past those labels and see that we’ re all just humans."
Tiniyak din ni Tommy na hindi siya nahirapan nang kunan ang mga intimate scene nila ni Raynold sa BL series, na mapapanood simula ngayong Miyerkules, April 26, sa official YouTube Channel ng Regal Entertainment Inc.
"Like I said, it’s very, very easy working with my castmates, Direk Easy Ferrer and the whole crew.
"We’re already busy, but we were able to get through it," pagtatapos ni Tommy.
