Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes commended actor Paolo Contis because of his acting performance in the primetime series The Master Cutter.

Dingdong is the lead star in the action-drama and conspiracy thriller series. He plays the character of Anthony “Atoy” Padua, who is a highly skilled former Scout Ranger who attempts to build a quiet life running his family’s tailoring shop in Baclaran.

However, there is a twist in his normal. Atoy is also living a secret double life as a master-of-disguise bounty hunter and tracker-for-hire, helping clients find missing people and fugitives.

In the series, Paolo Contis gave life to the character of Red Regalia, the main villain and fierce rival of the lead character. Red is a powerful, hot-tempered antagonist tied to a major crime syndicate.

In a recent episode, Paolo has received widespread praise from viewers and co-stars alike, including Dingdong Dantes. The episode showcased a pivotal moment for Paolo’s character, based on the article in GMA Entertainment.

The scene might have surprised the viewers as an encounter is expected to happen between Red and his father Dmitri, played by veteran actor Tonton Gutierrez.

Dingdong Dantes reacted to the said scene and he shared a teaser of Paolo’s dramatic performance through his social media post.

Even Sparkle heartthrob Prince Carlos, who plays Paolo’s child in the series, was deeply impressed by his “intense” acting.

Meanwhile, in a recent interview, Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera shared that she is willing to be part of The Master Cutter, but she stressed that she wanted to play a character who is the antagonist or villain of her husband’s character. The couple has already filmed for their upcoming movie Remember, which is set to be released this year.
