Shuvee Etrata on starring with Dingdong Dantes in 'Master Cutter': 'Hindi ko po sukat akalain'

Shuvee Etrata is set to appear in the upcoming Kapuso series "Master Cutter" alongside Dingdong Dantes.

In an interview with GMA News Online during the show's story conference on Tuesday, the Sparkle star shared that she is still over the moon about landing a role alongside the Kapuso Primetime King.

"Hindi ko po sukat na akalain kasi nga po sabi ko, of course I wanna hone my skills into acting. I know there's like busy schedules now with brands, endorsements," Shuvee said. 

"Pero with acting kasi it's part of me na gusto ko patunayan na lang 'yung sarili ko na kaya ko. So sabi ko sa management, I'm willing to do anything kahit na anong ibigay nila sa akin. Kasi alam ko hindi nila ako bibigyan ng something na hindi ko kaya," she added. 

Shuvee shared that when she first learned she would be part of "Master Cutter," she expected only a minor role. To her surprise, she was cast as one of the lead characters, which she considers a "privilege" and an "honor."

"As long as I'm with Kuya Dong, it's already a privilege, it's already an honor. Rest assured, of course, now that they've given me this chance, I'm gonna do my best to help and improve and actually make the most out of it," she said.

In "Master Cutter," Shuvee will play the role of Tonet Mendoza, who applies as a shoe keeper for Anthony (Dingdong). She harbors a secret crush on Anthony, who will soon grow fond of her. 

Directed by Dominic Zapata, "Master Cutter" is an action series that follows the story of Anthony, a former scout ranger turned lowkey-tailor who secretly lives a double life as an elite hunter or man tracker.

Other cast include Max Collins as Anthony's love interest, Sienna Stevens, Charlie Fleming, Jo Berry and Paolo Contis, among others.

Shuvee was among the 20 housemates of "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition." She and her fellow housemates recently reunited for "The Big ColLove" concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

She currently appears in "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" as Veshdita, a Mine-a-ve warrior. —MGP, GMA Integrated News
