Mig Macario
Another half Pinoy actor is making waves in the TV series scene in the US.
Fil-Canadian actor Mig Macario stars in three hit TV series in US, with recurring roles in currently running series’ “Fringe” and “Sanctuary.”
But, according to abs-cbnNEWS.com’s report, his biggest break came when he was signed up in ABC’s new hit show “Once Upon a Time,” which has been attracting a lot of attention recently. In this series, he takes on the role of the timid dwarf, Bashful.
“It’s all the different fairy tales that you’ve ever known but they’ve been cursed,” he tells ABS-CBN News. “It’s great in the sense that it’s a show that the whole family can watch, but really, it’s about hope.”
“Once Upon a Time,” which debuted in the US last November, is headlined by Ginnifer Goodwin and Jennifer Morrison. The series airs locally via Star World channel every Wednesday.
In a nutshell, the fairy tale drama series is a retelling of the classic “Snow White” conceptualized by two former writers of the hit “Lost.”
True blue Pinoy
Raised in Vancouver, Canada, Macario was born in Atimonan, Quezon and is the youngest of six children. Miguelito Macario Andaluz in real life, he was named after the Filipino revolutionary Macario Sakay.
Pursuing his destiny as actor in the States did not dilute his Pinoy identity.
“I’ve read up on Filipino history,” he says. “Although I was raised in Canada and grew up in North America, I still have really strong tries to being Filipino.”
He proudly adds, “Pinoy ang puso ‘ko.”
He even admitted that a good chunk of his acting prowess was influenced by Philippine showbiz industry.
“Somebody would come from the Philippines and they’d bring in Vilma Santos films, and I just remember, ‘Oh, this woman is making me so emotional,’” he recalls. “I think I’m a Vilmanian. That’s what they call it, I think.”
Despite being part of Hollywood, Macario still hopes to work with his favorite director, Brillante Mendoza.
“Brilliante Mendoza, if you’re listening or watching, I would love to work with you,” he says.
Calling out to the Cannes-winning director of “Kinatay,” he quipped, “Handang-handa na ako.”

What’s in a name?
Well since I’m rebranding myself professionally (possibly legally) and losing the Andaluz and “guelito” from my first name, there’s a lot to it. I never felt like an Andaluz and that’s the truth. I kept it because I felt obligated. When I found out that my middle name stood for Macario and only just recently was told that it was my great grandfather’s name, it only took 38 years to get that vital information about myself to be told to me, (thanks for letting me finally letting me know mom and dad). I always thought it was after Macario Sakay (see my early blogs about him) and I think it partly was because of him as well. I also found out recently that my birthday March 16 was the actual day the Philippines was allegedly discovered by Magellan. Although it had been many years that Chinese and other countries were trading with the people that would eventually be known as the Filipinos. Anyway, history listen over. I take the name Mig Macario because it’s a choice to start fresh, to begin my own legacy – a fresh history. I don’t think my parents know what they were getting into when they decided to use Macario as part of my name. Not that I’ll ever completely forget my past but like Macario Sakay – it’s a move towards independence through legal means. But I refuse to literally be executed like he did, but I know I will be definitely be figuratively executed from my family in a sense because I’m breaking certain social and cultural taboos (or something that my family may have made up). It’s my life and have the right to do so. So today – Miguelito Macario Andaluz begins to disappear (again executed if you like – happily by my own hands) while Mig Macario is born. New Year – New Name – New Life. It’s a good time

Amy Acker

Fans looking for answers about Person of Interest’s cliffhanger finale at the CBS drama’s Comic-Con panel did not squeeze much out of creator Jonathan Nolan and showrunner Greg Plageman — but the duo were confident about bringing back a recent guest.

“We had a great experience with Amy Acker and we have big plans for her,” said Nolan, when asked if she would be reappearing in the sophomore season.

Gianocarlo Esposito

Giancarlo Esposito sounded much more upbeat then his”Breaking Bad” character, Gustavo “Gus” Fring, discussing his Emmy nomination on Thursday morning.
“I’m over the moon and definitely honored,” Esposito said from Wilmington, N.C., where he’s filming “Revolution,” a new NBC drama that will air this fall. “I screamed, I cried. This is the culmination of a long career in television and film, and I’m so glad to be in this incredible group of actors.”

Ginnifer Goodwin

Ginny’s Audition trick


While others like to socialise with the competition to help calm their nerves, Goodwin likes to put her earphones on and ignore everyone around her.

The Walk The Line star tells The Hollywood Reporter, “I’m terrified… I don’t want to affect anyone and… I don’t want anyone affecting me and so I seriously become a hermit inside myself. I don’t know who I’m sitting in rooms with.”

“There will be a lot more butt kicking,” she told AccessHollywood.com of her character Snow/Mary Margaret, who along with the rest of the residents of Storybrooke, remembered their fairytale pasts in the Season 1 finale.”

“There will be fight training involved,” she added. “We will be going back [on Sunday], so this week we will be getting things underway.”

Ginnifer Goodwin may be better known as Snow White in her ABC show “Once Upon a Time,” but she was rocking a seriously red look for press at San Diego Comic-Con this year. Perhaps it’s just a small indication of how Snow — aka Mary Margaret — will be adjusting how she “represents herself.”

Now that the curse has been broken in the television show’s Storybrooke hometown, fans will see a lot of growth from every character, as they learn their own magic abilities during Season 2. However, “Magic operates differently in this world, so we don’t necessarily know what the effects of using magic will be,” Goodwin said.

Kristen Bauer Van Straten is making an Anti-Poaching Documentary

month, Kristin Bauer van Straten, better known as True Blood‘s Pam, will leave for Kenya, where she’ll spend four weeks filming a documentary about the effort to stop elephant ivory and rhino horn poaching — a cause dear to her South African husband’s family. His grandfather was a professor of physiology who helped treat, relocate, and save wildlife. Just as the experts need help to keep elephants and rhinos from going extinct, Bauer van Straten needs help to fund her film project.

Ginnifer Goodwin’s Name Game

(Cover) – EN Movies – Ginnifer Goodwin was one of several stars to have a code name on the set of He’s Not That Into You.
The actress appeared in the 2009 rom-com which also featured Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Connolly. She admits that special measures had to be brought in on set to distinguish between them.
“We had to have a code for the three Jennifers on set, oh yes! I went by GG as these are my initials. Jennifer Aniston was Jen and Jennifer Connolly was Jennifer,” the actress explained to Australian radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O. “We have the same issue in Once Upon a Time too as we have Jennifer Morrison. I think I have a thing for J names!”
The 34-year-old actress managed to make the tough transition from movies into TV.
She has had success with her role in Once Upon a Time that is now filming a second season. Ginnifer says although many actors find it a hard decision to make, for her it was an easy one.
“No it wasn’t once I looked at the script. I hadn’t been planning to go back into TV. I read some movie scripts and I hated all of them to be honest,” Ginnifer admitted. “The state of the movie industry is that unless you’re in some major comic book movie you’re kind of screwed. Then I read through some TV script pilots and I realised that that’s where all the great script writers have gone, they have gone into TV.”
