Benjamin Alves expresses pride for Andrea Torres ahead of 'Akusada' premiere
Benjamin Alves penned an appreciation post for his co-star, Andrea Torres, on Monday ahead of the premiere of their new series, "Akusada," on GMA Afternoon Prime on the same day.
On Instagram, Ben shared recent photos of himself and Andrea, as well as photos of their old projects together.
"Dre, before our soap and this journey begins, I just want to say how proud I am of you. To witness you go through the ups and downs of this business and come out as a stronger, more talented, and focused woman - it truly makes me happy," he wrote in the caption.
According to Ben, he and Andrea have both attended the same acting workshops in the past as they attempted to "figure out who we are in this business."
"I'm glad to see your goals, and who you really are, manifest - to the audience, but more so, to yourself," he said.
He also thanked Andrea for letting him be her leading man in "Akusada."
"I hope I’m giving you plenty to work with on set. Finally, after so many years of doing one-off specials - we finally get to do a full feature soap! As a cast and family of 'Akusada,' we are so excited and honored to have you lead us in this wonderful and engaging story," he said.
"Akusada," directed by award-winning director Dominic Zapata, premieres on June 30 at 4 p.m.
It follows the story of a woman named Carolina Astor (Andrea) who changes her identity to Lorena Herrera and lives a new life after being accused of a crime she did not commit.
Aside from Ben and Andrea, it also stars Sandy Andolong, Max Collins, Lianne Valentin, Marco Masa, Aaron Villena, Ashley Sarmiento, Arnold Reyes, and more.
Catch it from Mondays to Fridays on GMA Afternoon Prime at 4 p.m.
