Seth Fedelin started his career as a housemate of the hit reality TV show Pinoy Big Brother (PBB). He was part of Pinoy Big Brother: Otso Batch 1 in 2018 and was introduced as the “hope-pool son of Cavite.“

After his PBB stint, Seth quickly gained fans' support and became a sought-after teen actor. His first teleserye was Kadenang Ginto where he became part of the “Gold Squad” alongside Francine Diaz, Kyle Echarri, and Andrea Brillantes. Following the series' success, Seth starred in a drama series, Huwag Kang Mangamba. His journey to fame continuously rose with shows (like Click, Like, Share: Trending; Saying Goodbye; and Lyric and Beat), movies (such as Abandoned and Wild Little Love), music videos, and singles (in October last year, he released the song “Iba Ka,“ showcasing his talent in singing and rapping).




Seth Fedelin became one of the new-gen leading men, with his on-screen partner Francine Diaz by his side. After being part of the Gold Squad, they had their first team-up in Dreamscape’s revenge drama series, Dirty Linen.

According to Seth, his team-up with Francine contributes a lot for him as an actor. He shared, “Masasabi ko na si Francine ay napaka suportado sa akin. 100% siya nagbu-boost lagi nu’ng pagiging ako, pagiging aktor ko. Lagi niya ako kinu-complement.”

Nag-work ’yung pagtatrabaho naming dalawa. ’Tsaka, sobra niya akong tinulungan. Sobrang concerned siya sa damit ko, sa itsura ko,” he added, paying tribute to his leading lady.

Francine and Seth, together known as FranSeth, even starred in Ace Banzuelo's music video for the hit song “Muli.“




The two made their movie debut as a love team last year at the 50th Metro Manila Film Festival with their entry, My Future You, directed by Crisanto Aquino. “Hindi namin ginawa ’tong pelikula dahil trabaho lang namin. Isinapuso namin ’yung buong pelikula,” Seth said. With his notable portrayal in this MMFF entry, Seth received the Breakthrough Performance award and the Best Actor nomination.

How has this recognition changed his career? He answered, “Sobrang napakalaking bagay at nakakatakot kasi dapat sa susunod, hindi na breakthrough. Pero na-pre-pressure po ako kasi may mga comment ’yung mga tao, nakabasa po ako na, ganyan-ganyan, sana ganito-ganito sa susunod. So, natutuwa ako, pero at the same time rin, kinakabahan ako. Kasi paano kung hindi naman laging best e.” Despite the pressure, Seth aims to be better each time. For him, learning never stops.





After bagging an award from MMFF, Seth is ready to do more and give more as an actor. For him, looking up to the ones before him and learning from some iconic films could help make him better in his craft. “Mahilig po akong manood, lalo na ’pag nasa bahay ako. Movie marathon ng mga sikat na artista. Minsan nga, pino-pause ko pa e, tapos tina-try ko ’yung lines,” he shared.



Fans have seen Seth in romance, drama, and romantic-comedies as the kind-hearted boy, a good soul, but he’d like to challenge his capacity and versatility with a bad boy role. He described, “Gusto ko rin masubukan ang bad boy. Kasi kadalasang nagagawa kong role, mabait, anak ni ganyan. So, gusto ko namang maranasan ’yung challenge para sa akin na paano ako, ’yung maginoo peroano kaya itsura ko kapag dinagdagan ko ng konting angas ’yung isang karakter?”

He also expressed his desire for doing an action project but he’d like to take his time before diving into an opportunity like that. He explained, “Gusto ko muna siyang simulan sa maliit. Gusto ko munang matutunan. Kasi mahirap ang action e, nakakapagod, hindi maiiwasang masaktan. So, ‘yun ang gusto ko rin pag-aralan o unti-untiin.



Seth has come a long way, but it won‘t be long until his next big project. He shared his excitement to start working on his upcoming series, Nobody, which casts him alongside Gerald Anderson, JC De Vera, RK Bagatsing, and Francine Diaz. Clearly, Seth has his eyes set on making more breakthrough achievements as he dabbles in new genres.
