I played a priest in one movie. They guy with me in the picture is a real actor who was a seminarian in the story while I am the parish priest. They got me for the role because they say I look like a priest. Oh, really?
No need to ask the title of the movie, it was not a blockbuster anyway, waheehee.

You look more good looking than the actor, add one more priest and I would change the title to "Gomburza" ( for the sake of foreign readers it's a shortcut for the 3 martyred Philippine priests during the Spanish colonial period)

You gave me a laugh with Gomburza but I know your intention... that we would end in the execution chamber, the garote, waheehee. I want to pinch you there.

You must look very pure and honest Alex if they thought you looked like a priest

@Alexandoy I sometimes think you look quite serious in your pics and didn't realise you were so funny!

@sprite1950 to be frank, I am a serious person. But friends in Facebook wouldn't buy that. Only those who know me personally would believe that I am a grumpy old man. Waheehee.

Waheehee, I am really laughing at that because my good friend who was the cameraman chose me. And until now I don't know why everyone agreed. Wahaahaa.

@thelme55 my role was very short so I did not promote that in Facebook.

The title is in Filipino and I honestly I cannot remember it completely because the shooting was in 2016, quite a long time already.

@porwest it is a local movie that is an Indie which means has a small production budget.

@Alexandoy So, probably not a movie that was shown or would be widely known in the U.S. It just looked so familiar for some reason.

So, did you get to at least see the movie even if it did not make it to the screen?

@Hannihar I am not interested because I don't like the story.

So since you now until now, does that mean you are able to see it? How is it if you are able to see it?

The actor with me is Alvin Anson, the younger brother of Boots Anson Roa. He is popular in Indie films because he doesn't name his price regarding the talent fee.

That must have been fun. I was an extra in the movie Deep Impact..actually they mostly wanted my car, although I don't think it made the final cut, a friend of mine was in it also, and you can see his truck in the movie.

Even though it was not a blockbuster movie, that is great you got a small part in that movie!

I am not really proud of it because it is a very small role with a long dialogue.

You look great in your robes and could pass for a priest. Any thought of changing your vocation?

To be frank, I had wanted to be a priest when I was in high school.
