MANILA — P-pop boy group SB19 member Justin de Dios thanked ABS-CBN for giving him the opportunity to have his acting debut on "Senior High."

"Cameo lang siya so 'di ko in-expect na talagang kakalat siya all over social media so thank you po ABS-CBN for giving the chance and opportunity. Na-overwhelm ako and thankful so sana po magkaroon pa po ako ng projects," de Dios told reporters.

In the last week of "Senior High," de Dios played the role of Jared, the date of Tanya (Gela Atayde) in the show's finale.

During the launch of his new single "surreal," de Dios recalled how he got the call to be part of the show.

"Sinabi lang po sa 'min ng project manager namin na sabi niya: 'mag-guest ka rito.' Mayroon ngang gusto akong mag-guest sa 'Senior High.' Sige po, gusto ko rin pong mag-try mag-acting," de Dios told ABS-CBN News in an interview.

"Pumunta ako, a day or two days before ng shoot ko talaga para manood, mag-observe, alam kong masaya sige try na natin. Very quick lang siya since cameo lang naman 'yung role ko roon. Na-enjoy ko naman. Hopefully po magkaroon pa ng more acting (roles)," he added.

There were some adjustments for de Dios, who saw the difference in music and TV production.

"Medyo na-culture shock po ako kasi medyo magkaiba po siya sa life as a musician and sa acting po. Hindi naman in a negative way na culture shock, 'yung buong set is something new for me," he said.

Asked what genre of acting he wants to pursue, de Dios was specific in that he wants to be a side character who will die in the finale.

"Pangarap ko talaga na masama sa isang film or series pero ayaw ko ng main character, weird lang pero ang pinaka-dream ko more of coming of age na genre, gusto ko 'yung character na mamamatay ako sa ending. 'Yun 'yung nai-imagine ko na sana mangyari," he said.

"Kahit sino po basta siguro po what I can say about it is dapat po it's something na deserve ko, not just because gustong-gusto ko lang siya or triny kong kunin but then at least deserve ko 'yung magiging role ko kung may ka-partner po ako o may ka-work, it's something din na deserve ko siyang maka-trabaho."
