Provincial to international: Coco Martin


Pinoy primetime king: Coco’s hit series ‘Ang Probinsyano’ tells the story of a policeman who’s avenging his twin brother. — ABS-CBN

COCO Martin is a Filipino Everyman. In person, he’s shorter than you’d expect. Disarming; he’s also trim, handsome (but not too handsome) with an empathetic smile and warm eyes.

When you meet him, he’s immediately familiar. He could be the mechanic from down the road, the kindly hospital orderly or the Overseas Foreign Worker. Nondescript. Ordinary: but trustworthy.
