CHILD ACTOR EUWENN MIKAELL WOWS VETERANS EULA VALDES, MICHAEL DE MESA

SEASONED ACTORS CAN EASILY SPOT TALENTS. THEY KNOW when a neophyte, regardless of age, has the potential to pursue a career in acting. They can also sense if one is in the zone or just winging it.

Eula Valdes and Michael De Mesa can attest to that innate gift of Euwenn Mikaell, the lead star of the inspirational family drama series, "Forever Young."

Premiering Oct. 21 at 4 p.m. on the Kapuso network, the show will see Euwenn as Rambo Agapito, who has panhypopituitarism that makes him, as some would describe it, "a 25-year-old trapped in a 10-year-old body."

Information from the GMA Afternoon Prime show's website shares that the rare condition "slows (Rambo's) growth hormone and retains his childlike appearance."

Michael and Eula, on the other hand, represent Eduardo and Esmeralda, heads of competing powerful families, the Malaque and the Vergara, respectively.

With the show's political leaning, genre-wise, Rambo will run for a public office, and he aspires to become a mayor.

Euwenn played the cute, witty boy in the drama, romance comedy TV series "One of the Baes," and a loving son in the magical realism film, "Firefly." He could hold his own in the presence of veterans Roderick Paulate and Alessandra de Rossi.
