Actor Gerald Anderson is returning to television with the series Nobody. In a project announcement on Wednesday, Aug. 28, Anderson referred to the show as an ideal comeback, two years after his last project, A Family Affair.
“So, I can honestly say, this is the best show for my comeback. I’m very excited. Honestly, this is one of the things that has made me the most excited to do something. So, it’s the perfect comeback show,” Gerald said.
Having been in the industry for more than a decade, Gerald has played various roles in the past, but he noted that his role in Nobody is different from his previous projects. While the story may not be true to life, it mirrors “things happening in real life,” the actor explained.
“Maybe more than my character, it’s about his journey. It’s the storyline. It’s about sacrifice. It’s about loyalty. It’s about integrity, the sacrifice of his family. It’s not just a simple action series or drama. It’s about the journey of the people who go through that as well,” he continued.
“It says he’s a nobody. I think all of us feel at some point in our lives that we’re nobody. We have doubts about ourselves, doubts about our situation, like, can we really do this? I know a lot of people can relate to this, starting with the title,” the actor added.
The 35-year-old actor also shared that “Nobody” is one of his ways to honor today’s heroes for their sacrifices and efforts in putting their lives at risk to help others.
“This [Nobody] is my way of thanking you. Soldier’s Heart, Tayong Dalawa, and this, Nobody – I always ask ABS-CBN, if I do a show, I hope it has social awareness. I hope we can inspire someone. I hope we can tell the stories of what’s really happening in our lives, especially now that so much is happening in our country,” Gerald told the Manila Standard Entertainment.
He emphasized his desire to use his influence to inspire more people and raise awareness.
Without giving away too much, Gerald teased that the show would be an exciting series delving into the life of a member of the law enforcement team. He mentioned that he would begin training this week, which would require him to improve his firing skills.
Gerald also expressed his gratitude for having another project and promised to do his best in portraying his role.
“I work from a place of gratitude. So, I think when you’re grateful, many blessings happen in your life,” he shared.
“This is going to be a very hard show mentally, physically, and emotionally. But when you love what you do, and this is really close to my heart, I’m going to give my 150 percent here,” Gerald stated.
