Fresh from his “Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition” stint, actor Will Ashley is taking on a new role in “Bar Boys: After School,” the sequel to the 2017 coming-of-age film about law students and their struggles.
In an Instagram story, Will gave his fans a glimpse of the script for his character, Arvin.
“Sana mahalin n’yo si Arvin gaya ng pagmamahal ko sa kaniya,” he wrote.
On X, one of the film’s writers, Carlo Catu, shared behind-the-scenes photos from an acting workshop with Will.
“Kinukwento pa lang ni Kip Oebanda noon ang ‘Bar Boys: After School,’ love at excited na ako sa character ni Arvin. Kanina, nadagdagan pa yung feelings na ’yun nung makita at makaeksena ko pa si [Will Ashley],” Catu wrote.
Will reportedly auditioned for the role two weeks before entering the PBB house as a housemate. His character, Arvin, is a working student juggling a job while pursuing law school.
Joining him in the sequel are new cast members Sassa Gurl, Royce Cabrera, Bryce Eusebio, Therese Malvar, and Glaiza De Castro. Original stars Rocco Nacino, Enzo Pineda, Carlo Aquino, and Kean Cipriano will also reprise their roles.
