Raven shares first impressions of “Fractured” co-stars, takes on challenges guaranteed to make you smile

Raven Rigor is bit by bit satisfying his dreams of portraying different roles and taking on different genres. After being cast in the hugely successful Kapamilya teleserye “Dirty Linen,” he moves to his next assignment: Fractured.

The budding actor sat with Kapamilya Chat to share his “Fractured” experience. He started by sharing how he feels about the warm support that “Fractured” has been receiving since its pilot episode. He said that it makes his heart swell, considering that the cast and production team poured their blood, sweat, and tears into every scene and promo activity.

In the story, he portrays Doc Tony, who is calm, reserved, and smart – a stark contrast to the perennially miffed Clint, his character in “Dirty Linen.” Given that “Fractured” tapings rolled two weeks after he finished filming “Dirty Linen,” Raven admitted that he had a difficult time switching from one character to another. Thankfully, his director and co-actors didn’t hesitate to help him embody Doc Tony’s character.

“Fractured” is all about teamwork, he shared. Cliché as it may sound, but his favorite part of filming “Fractured” is forming solid relationships with his co-stars. They’ve had their fair share of ‘tampuhan’ or misunderstanding, which only shows how authentic their friendship is. He also enjoyed water activities like riding a banana float and sharing boodle fights, just living the island life with his cast mates.

Raven is glad to have worked with his “Dirty Linen” co-stars Francine Diaz, Seth Fedelin, Sean Tristan, and Jennica Garcia in this new series. And he’s also pleased to meet his first-time co-actors Kaori Oinuma, Jeremiah Lisbo, and Daniela Stranner.

Asked about first impressions and discoveries, he admitted to feeling intimidated by Daniela. He saw her as ‘masungit’ and thought they have no common interests, but eventually, they broke the ice and clicked.

He was also shy to approach Kaori, whom he discovered as extremely kind and sweet. He’s all praise for Kaori’s acting potential and how easy it is to connect with her emotions. He then lauded Jeremiah’s contagious and very inspiring dedication to his craft.

Asked to describe “Fractured” in one word, he picked “unexpected.” Raven invited viewers to watch for Doc Tony’s character journey – will he remain fractured or will he come out of the mysterious island alive?

The good vibes didn’t end there, as Raven also played popular Kapamilya Chat games, starting with the “Red Flag or Green Flag” Challenge in which he had to weigh in on relatable relationship situations as either red flag or green flag.

Here, learn a thing or two about love from Raven as he shares his thoughts about paying the bill on the first date, showing up at work unannounced, and asking for passwords. He’d charm you as well with his smart answers about talking exes and living with an “ako kasi” mentality. And thanks to this challenge, you will discover one quality he likes in a girl. Hint: it’s the little things that make him ‘kilig.’

Bonus: His prominent dimples will make you smile uncontrollably!

In the next challenge called “Match It,” he was tasked to copy the plastic fruits' arrangement inside the box. Raven failed in his three attempts and faced intriguing questions as a consequence.

He admitted that casual relationships aren’t his thing. At 21, he prefers serious connections. When asked the wildest thing he did to get a crush’s attention, he confessed that he tends to feel shy around his crush. Instead, he would stalk her and even people close to her on social media.

When prompted to recall his first kiss, he disclosed, “On screen, nakakakaba at saka madaming camera na nakatingin, so nahiya ako.” And when asked about his first off-screen smooch, Raven just flashed his super-cute smile and evaded the question.
