Neophyte actor Laurence Mossman has been raking in good reviews for his portrayal as Signore Mossman in the ABS-CBN series “Dolce Amore” top-billed by Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil.
His first appearance on the primetime show happened February 28 and became a trending topic on social media. The Fil-Kiwi charmer gained praise for his believable portrayal of a young billionaire whom Serena (Liza) thought could help her family solve their bankruptcy crisis. However, it turned out that Mr. Mossman took advantage of her, and Tenten (Enrique) readily came to her rescue.
“I am elated and a little bit sad,” Laurence said of the viewers’ feedback.
“Elated because people approved of and was convinced with my acting. It means I passed the acting test. Sad, on the other hand, because I have become the subject of their social media rants. I understand that they are just carried away by my character. I hope it ends there, because I am not really like Mr. Mossman in real life.”
Laurence was born to a Kiwi/New Zealander father and a Filipina mother. He was raised in New Zealand but has been visiting the Philippines every now and then.
Two years ago, Laurence decided to try his luck in the Philippine entertainment industry. He was included in the all-male singing trio The Primo, which has regular shows at Resorts World Manila.
Last year, CREWorks Asia, the agency that manages Laurence’s career, introduced him to director Henry Quitaen, head of Star Creatives which handles all ABS-CBN teleseryes. The director saw his potential and advised him to undergo an acting workshop under his tutelage. While the workshop was ongoing, auditions for the role of a young billionaire took place. Laurence joined and was chosen from among hundreds of hopefuls. The character was even named after him.
Due to good reviews, there is a plan to extend Laurence’s exposure in “Dolce Amore.” There are also talks that he will be given a follow-up project soon.
Aside from the teleserye and his regular gig at Resorts World, Laurence keeps busy with promotional tours and provincial shows as the ambassador of Psalmstre New Placenta for Men. – by Rich Salibay
