CARLOS MORALES – Actor Carlos Morales revealed the reason why he left the show business four years ago.
The handsome actor Carlos, who is well-known for the roles he plays, talked candidly about his reasons for quitting the entertainment business four years ago. Carlos revealed that he decided to try his luck in the US due of the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak in an interview with YouTube content creator Morly Alinio.
Carlos said, “Basically, kasi ‘ di ba, yung panahon ng COVID din. ‘Tapos feeling ko that time… kasi nothing is certain that time. Hindi natin alam kung ano ‘yung extent nung COVID na ‘yun, so pumunta ako sa States, ‘tapos nag-exam ako.”
Carlos, a 47-year-old Parañaque City local with a nursing degree from Olivarez College, passed the National Council Licensure Examination in the United States.
The actor added, “Fortunately, I passed and then, my mom died. Medyo parang na-depress din ako, so I have to stay there for a bit bago ako bumalik ngayon.”
“So, from now on siguro, I will just you know come back and forth. Siyempre, kasi passion ko rin talaga tong filmmaking tsaka ‘yung showbiz e.”
Carlos also mentioned that although life took him in a different direction, he had previously thought about going into medicine.
“Before ako mag-showbiz dati I made sure na tinapos ko muna ‘yung nursing ko. ‘Tsaka, at the same time dapat kasi pre-med yun, pero hindi ko [kinaya], kasi masyado mahirap. So, kaya naging model na ako that time, tapos pumunta na ako sa Viva ‘yun ‘yung first big contract ko sa Viva Films and then from there pumalaot na tayo.”
Carlos continued, “Ito nga sa COVID time pumunta ako ng Amerika at nag-test na ako ng NCLEX, ‘yun po ‘yung local board [exam] sa States para maging registered nurse ka. Hanggang sa ngayon, up to this time nurse na po ako dun sa Amerika.”
Carlos began appearing in the youth-oriented variety show That’s Entertainment, which was hosted by the late German “Kuya Germs” Moreno, before becoming well-known for his sensual roles.
Carlos recalled starting as a backup dancer before becoming an actor.
“We started as a dance group so meron ako ka-group from Olongapo na yun talaga ‘yung core na grupo ko. So, nagpunta kami ng Manila, naging back-up dancer muna kami ni Karla Estrada.
“So, dun kami nag-start and then eventually, sa That’s nagkaroon kami ng parang regular show, na sumayaw kami bilang dancer. Pero hindi ako ‘yung naging host dun sa That’s. Gusto ko sumayaw.”
