Na-overwhelm ako and thankful so sana po magkaroon pa po ako ng projects,&quot; de Dios told reporters.</p><p>In the last week of &quot;Senior High,&quot; de Dios played the role of Jared, the date of Tanya (Gela Atayde) in the show&#x27;s finale.</p><p>During the launch of his new single &quot;surreal,&quot; de Dios recalled how he got the call to be part of the show.</p><p>&quot;Sinabi lang po sa &#x27;min ng project manager namin na sabi niya: &#x27;mag-guest ka rito.&#x27; Mayroon ngang gusto akong mag-guest sa &#x27;Senior High.&#x27; Sige po, gusto ko rin pong mag-try mag-acting,&quot; de Dios told ABS-CBN News in an interview.</p><p>&quot;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 &#x27;yung role ko roon. Na-enjoy ko naman. Hopefully po magkaroon pa ng more acting (roles),&quot; he added.</p><p>There were some adjustments for de Dios, who saw the difference in music and TV production.</p><p>&quot;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, &#x27;yung buong set is something new for me,&quot; he said.</p><p>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.</p><p>&quot;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 &#x27;yung character na mamamatay ako sa ending. &#x27;Yun &#x27;yung nai-imagine ko na sana mangyari,&quot; he said.</p><p>&quot;Kahit sino po basta siguro po what I can say about it is dapat po it&#x27;s something na deserve ko, not just because gustong-gusto ko lang siya or triny kong kunin but then at least deserve ko &#x27;yung magiging role ko kung may ka-partner po ako o may ka-work, it&#x27;s something din na deserve ko siyang maka-trabaho.&quot;</p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603" data-ivs-spid="3001339" data-ivs-vid="2973601"></ivs-player></div><script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js"></script>
