One of the most enjoyable horror/comedies I've had the pleasure of seeing, Camp Death III in 2D, is coming soon to Amazon Prime streaming and I've been able to conduct a few interviews with the cast and crew of the production to help promote that release. Here's the first of these special interviews, with star Jason Asuncion who plays Jesus Hernandez Jr. in the film.
Me: Hello, and thank you for the time to do this. Having grown up in the Philippines, were you always into movies and TV as a kid?
Jason Asuncion: YES! from sneaking to watch late night TV when I was a Child (Benny Hill Show, Three's Company) to Miami Vice, 21 Jump Street as Teen up to Dexter and Breaking Bad as an Adult
Me: What specifically attracted you to bodyguard and security work?
JA: I am Big compared to the majority of Filipinos, and I grew up in a tough neighborhood with 2 older and bigger brothers and 2 tough as nails sisters in Manila.. not to mention my Mom and Grandma were very brave women :-)
Me: Do you prefer to be recognized for your security work or your acting roles?
JA: I'm already known as one if not the best Bouncer / Bodyguard in Manila, and even won awards here in Vancity for Bouncing and Body Guarding, so now I prefer to be noticed as a good actor.
Me: Is there any real difference too working in the Philippines as opposed to being in Canada?
