Fresh from his Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab stint as the Second Big Placer, Will Ashley is stepping into a new challenge on the small screen with his role in the action-drama series Sanggang Dikit FR.
Ashley will portray Corporal Wilbert “Will” Mariano, a rookie police officer whose youthful looks make him the perfect candidate for a high-stakes undercover mission. Tasked to pose as a senior high school student, his character navigates the dangerous world of crime while maintaining his cover.
Raised in a poor family, Will's character grew up with a lifelong dream of becoming a policeman. This determination drives him to prove himself despite the risks of his assignment.
Adding depth to the story is his dynamic partnership with fellow officer Vince, played by Matthew Uy, as the two take on a “buddy cop” relationship that blends action, suspense, and camaraderie.
With this project, Ashley continues to showcase his versatility as an actor, moving from reality TV success to tackling more mature and challenging roles on screen.
A clip from the August 22 episode of Sanggang Dikit FR features Will and Matthew going undercover as college students on a mission to track down the source of party drugs circulating on campus. The scene quickly drew reactions from netizens.
"Ang pogi naman ni Sir Wilbert," one comment said.
