Young stars Robbie Jaworski and Angelina Cruz debut as onscreen pair
Star Magic introduced its newest onscreen pair, Robbie Jaworski and Angelina Cruz, at a Spotlight press conference as the two young talents take on key roles in the series The Alibi.
Jaworski and Cruz, both newcomers to acting, join the main cast of the trending drama led by Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino. They portray the younger siblings of the two stars, whose characters come from opposite social backgrounds.
As a newcomer, Jaworski talked about his journey in showbiz and his experience in the limelight since formally deciding to enter the industry.
“I’ve had a lot of realizations about how the work really goes. At first, I thought acting and hosting were all about thinking fast, but it’s so much more than that. It takes preparation—mentally, physically—it’s a whole package,” he said.
Jaworski added that he drew from his own life to shape Edward (his character in The Alibi), who works in his family’s hotel business.
“Playing him helped me understand that balance between privilege and humility, knowing you don’t know everything about life,” he related.
Meanwhile, Cruz said filming The Alibi was very different from her experience in movies, including a previous project with Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano.
“I thought it would feel the same as making a movie, which I found pretty relaxed, but shooting a series is a whole other pace—it moves fast,” she said.
She also related to Katherine’s (her role in The Alibi) protective nature over her family.
“Her overprotectiveness really resonated with me because I have two sisters, and I know that love and care you feel for them.”
Outside acting, Jaworski is a regular VJ on MYX and takes on various hosting gigs. Cruz, on the other hand, continues to develop her passion for music while pursuing acting.
