Award-winning actor and host Dingdong Dantes is relishing his lead role in the brand-new GMA Prime series The Master Cutter.

Fans of the Kapuso prized talent last saw Dingdong in the highly-successful drama-crime series Royal Blood in 2023.

And now, his viewers will surely be in awe of his performance in The Master Cutter, an action-packed series that will truly elevate weeknights viewing beginning this May.

"Parang hindi ko pa nagawa sa isang series, pelikula man or teleserye 'yung ganoong nag-iiba-iba 'yung hitsura. So demanding siya at the same time very exciting para sa 'kin kasi siyempre imagine nakakapaglaro ako ng iba't-ibang character tapos para siyang acting within acting," Dingdong told 24 Oras.

He added, "Ang saya bilang isang performer, bilang isang actor na ganoon 'yung mga role na ginagampanan ko,”

Netizens are also going gaga over Dingdong Dantes' throwback post on TikTok, wherein he joined the viral "What were you like in the 90s?" trend.

His post, a trip down to memory, generated over 2.1 million views and 257,000 reactions. The video shows some of his photos playing the heartthrob Iñaki Torres in the '90s youth-oriented show T.G.I.S.

It was a nostalgic moment for Dingdong looking back on his character as Iñaki.

He explained, “Nakita ko nga eh. Sa TikTok parang ang daming '90s throwback na lumalabas. Nakakatuwa kasi siyempre maaalala mo 'yung mga pinaggagagawa mo noon.”

“Siguro mas marami lang alam ngayon. So nakakatuwang balik-balikan kasi doon nagsimula ang lahat, lalo na sa 'T.G.I.S.' when I started…that was almost 30 years ago. Ganoon na katagal, pero good times,” Dingdong added.
