Very Very precise, very “welll read,” and always very very relaxed. haha. I left teasching at a film school in the Philippines in 2018, and then found one of the best Pilipino actors right here in the Netherlands. As I look again at the CoffeeShop scene, I see even more how damn good you were.. ..really, just excellent…Some got it, some don’t..you do. Shine on.

Say what?

Your vulnerability and the emotional life of your character came through and was very engaging. Impressive for someone only acting for two years.* Must be in the genes. Congratulations.

I had a chance to work with Charlie when giving one of my workshops in Amsterdam. Charlie showed very early in the process that he has the ability to deliver a powerful and believable performance within no time of preparation. I was very impressed and moved by his performance. He showed a very professional attitude, and adapted fast and easy to new directions in the exercises we worked with. I really hope to have the chance to work with him again in the future.
 

TONY GRAHN

Intimidating intensity in performance that took me aback, and when I met him he turned out to be a really friendly guy! If this was the guy who ‘soiled’ Jeffrey Lebowsky’s rug in the Big Lebowsky, he definitely would have payed up in the first scene.

Although I’ve only worked with Charlie once – in “Routine” – I was impressed, and felt lifted by his acting on the set. Since then he continues to impress me with his presence on the screen and last, but not the least, by his lasting and generous support as a brother in film anyway.

Charlie is a hell of a dude. On camera as well as off camera. While I know him as an actor who wants his lines a.s.a.p. so he can go over them and get into character even more.. he’s maybe even more fun to watch and edit when you give him room to improvise. Subtle and funny, dramatic and realistic. Charlie has all the traits of a beautiful human being and I can’t wait to work with him again and to see more of his ‘roles’ come to life.. Let yourself be surprised by Charlie. You’ll love him just as your audience will.

I got to know Charlie as an incredibly hard-working actor who is very dedicated to his craft. Such a pleasure to work with.
