By Manila Times - 3 weeks ago

Noted actor Gerald Anderson marks his highly anticipated return to primetime television after a two-year hiatus, taking on the lead role in ABS-CBN's new action-drama series "Nobody."

The series delves into themes of loyalty, integrity, and morality, as hinted by a teaser that features a montage of Anderson's real-life advocacy and philanthropic efforts. Despite showcasing his commendable deeds, the teaser boldly declares, "It is not a story about a hero... Gerald Anderson is a nobody," setting the stage for a complex narrative.

"It's the perfect comeback show because it's very challenging," Anderson stated during the project announcement on August 28 at the ABS-CBN Studios. "This is a journey of a person you can't figure out. Is he a hero? Is he a vigilante? Does he have e integrity?" His remarks underscore the multifaceted nature of his character, who grapples with his true identity and moral compass.

Whoever he may be, Anderson's role is one that demands rigorous physical preparation. He revealed plans to undergo extensive training, including martial arts and firearms handling, to authentically embody his character's professional and physical demands.

Anderson also mentioned how his prior experience with the coastguard would be of significant help. He said he intends to leverage and share what he learned with his co-stars to enhance the series' realism.

Ultimately, Anderson's aims is this, "I want to inspire other people to give a helping hand in different ways."

It can be recalled that Anderson's video helping flooded families during Typhoon Carina as an army reservist quickly went viral. He also shared that when he volunteered for the military, enrollments rose by 300 percent.

Produced by ABS-CBN's JRB Creative Production, "Nobody" is helmed by director Benedict Mique, with creative manager Dindo Perez and head writer Cenon Palomares shaping the series' narrative and creative direction.

Anderson's TV comeback follows his role in the 2022 primetime series "A Family Affair." With "Nobody," he aims to push the boundaries further, embracing a character that embodies ambiguity and complexity rather than clear-cut heroism.

The series is set to premiere soon on ABS-CBN.
