Sparkle hottie Bruce Roeland will raise the temperature every Saturday night as he portrays the hunky delivery rider Doe in the new sitcom 'Open 24/7!'
We will see Bruce Roeland flex not only his hot physique but comedic talents in the brand-new sitcom Open 24/7 featuring three of the best and most-respected artists in show business.
Joining forces in this much-awaited comedy show are multi-talented artist Jose Manalo, award-winning actress Maja Salvador and seasoned comedian-host Vic Sotto.
Bruce will be portraying the hunky delivery rider Doe, one of the Gen Z crew of Boss EZ's (Vic Sotto) convenience store.
After the grand media conference held last May 8 for the sitcom, Bruce talked about his experience during their first taping and what it was like working with their director JR Reyes.
The Sparkle actor told GMANetwork.com, “Sobrang galing niya po bilang director, walang biro. Sobrang galing!”
“Ang galing niya sa craft niya kapag gusto niya 'yung isang bagay sa isang eksena sasabihin niya. Kahit 'yung ginawa mo, 'pag may mga konting adjustment sasabihin niya. So before 'yung taping day namin nagkaroon kami ng workshop para sa amin.”
“Kaya 'pag si Direk JR, 'pag sinabi na niya gusto niya 'yun kailangan namin makinig [at] i-incorporate 'yung mga sinabi niya.”

Admittedly, Bruce felt the pressure during their first-ever taping day in Open 24/7. But Jose, Maja and Bossing Vic made them all feel at ease to the point that it didn't feel that they were working at all.
Bruce explained, “Sa una nakaka-pressure talaga, kasi ang kasama namin dito sa show si Bossing Vic [Sotto], si Kuya Jose [Manalo], at si Ate Maja [Salvador], so nakaka-pressure. Pero, nung dumating kami sa mga scenes, mga eksena medyo nag-calm na kami lahat.
“Kasi 'pag kasama mo sila hindi mo nararamdamang nasa eksena ka, e. Na-feeling mo ikaw 'yung actor, ikaw 'yung character mo at 'yung ibang character nila. So, nasa ibang mundo ka ganun.
“It's very fun talaga.”
Here's a quick look at what to expect in the pilot episode of Open 24/7 happening on May 27, right after #MPK (Magpakailanman).
