Reel Heroes: 10 Actors Who Played Them in Movies

Published: Aug 30, 2010 - 10:00am

9. ALBERT MARTINEZ as Jose Rizal

Martinez is probably the most tisoy to play Jose Rizal on the big screen. He fleshed out the hero in Tikoy Aguiluz's 1997 flick, Rizal sa Dapitan, which focused on Rizal's life in exile. Sexy star Amanda Page played Josephine Bracken.

10. ALFRED VARGAS as Andres Bonifacio

Vargas plays the tragic hero in Ang Paglilitis ni Andres Bonifacio (2010), an indie flick directed by Mario O'Hara. This film was showcased at the Cinemalaya this year. Though it didn't get any awards, Vargas' perfomance, as well as the perfomance of the rest of the cast, would make anyone hopeful about local cinema.

    Julio Diaz played Bonifacio in the movie Bayani before he did Sakay (same director). He also played Bonifacio for the Bayani TV series. Ah memories...

    In his blog, Lessons From the School of Inattention, lawyer-critic Francis "Oggs" Cruz wrote that Versoza's Bonifacio was "an unconvincing romantic wreck written as a cardboard cutout of blind idolatry."

    -- agree. what were they thinking? fanatic ang dating ni bonifacio sa movie. especially the la liga part.
