THERE’S a new kid in the martial arts block and he’s a champion. We’re referring to Ian Ignacio na bidang-bida sa “The Trigonal”.
Si Ian ay anak ng batikan at magaling na character actor and martial arts expert na si Levi Ignacio. Ian plays Jacob Casa who was lured into fighting in an underground martial arts tournament because of big money at stake.
Previously, Ian did “Ang Bagong Dugo,” an action-drama na pinagbidahan ni Joem Bascon.
After completing his stu-dies, nagpaalam si Ian sa kanyang ama kung puwede na siyang mag-artista.
“Sabi niya hindi ako papayag na pumasok ka ng showbiz hangga’t ‘di kita nakikita sa entablado.
Tumawag siya kay Sir Tony Mabesa. Buti na lang may stage play siyang “Ang Misis Kong Promdi.” First stage play ko ‘yun. It’s in English and Tagalog.
“Sabi ko buti na lang kasi mahahasa ang Tagalog ko. And then three years after, some guesting sa TV like Encantadia and some full-length international films and Fine Arts studies sa Ateneo,” say ni Ian na isang Taekwondo and Jujitsu champion.
