Fil-Am Hollywood actor Anthony Ruivivar open to showbiz stints in PHL
The Philippine Star
|October 27, 2024
Hollywood actor and the father of Filipina-American Olympic gymnast Levi Jung-Ruivivar, Anthony Ruivivar, is open to doing acting projects in the Philippines. His daughter, Levi, has recently signed with Viva Artists Agency (VAA) as one of its talents.
"We've been talking about it," Anthony responded when asked at a presscon if he is also going to ink a deal with VAA. "We've been talking about me coming like, at least, when I'm here, you know, I can be productive.
"I'd love to. I honestly would love to come to the Philippines and do as much as I can. I mean, honestly."
Anthony started at an early age in the entertainment industry. His father is Tony Ruivivar, the founding member of the musical group Society of Seven, described in the US press as "the most successful show band in Waikiki entertainment history."
"So he (Tony) started the Society of Seven with Jun Polistico and with Bert Navarro. And so that's how I grew up with Martin (Nievera, son of Bert) in Hawaii," he shared.
Born and bred in Hawaii, with seven of his uncles in Society of Seven, it came to no surprise that Anthony got interested in showbiz, too.
