In the more than a decade that he has been in showbiz, Kapamilya young actor Louise Abuel has consistently impressed us with his promising acting chops ever since his child star days. While the majority of the characters that he had portrayed in the teleseryes he starred in were either young counterparts of male lead protagonists or supporting characters, he’s able to prove that there are no small or big roles for him, as he makes sure that his every performance is remarkable.Just like what he did in his most recent stint in “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/incognito">Incognito</a>,” wherein he fascinated us with his portrayal of Diego Aguinaldo, who turned out to be Jun Malvar, the long-lost brother of Daniel Padilla’s character Andres Malvar. His appearance might be short-lived since Diego is now dead after being fatally shot by the bodyguards during a bloody encounter, yet many would perhaps agree that it was among the noteworthy participations of a guest actor.As we bid farewell to one of the significant cameo roles in Incognito, let us revisit some of Louise’s scenes that showcased his caliber as an actor in this edition of Kapamilya Toplist.While he was good at delivering his lines, Louise was arguably extra impressive in those scenes wherein he didn’t have to utter a single word and allowed his emotions, facial reactions, movements, and the so-called “mata-mata acting” to do the talking for him. And we got to see that during Diego’s first-ever encounter with Andres, wherein they hugged and shed tears.He may be known for his promising flair in drama ever since he was still a child actor, but Louise had seemingly reintroduced himself in “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/incognito">Incognito</a>,” as he exhibited his skills in doing action and fight scenes—from throwing punches, doing stunts, and handling guns. He wowed us with how he was able to keep pace with Richard Gutierrez, who already has experience in the action genre, as seen in those sequences wherein their characters had face-offs.But above all, it was how he nailed his portrayal of an antagonist, who initially projected himself as harmless yet was actually a wolf just hiding in sheep’s clothing, that absolutely astonished us the most. Louise was not only able to display his versatility as an actor via this epic stint but also prove that he can now nail kontrabida roles as well and not just pitiful or supporting characters.Thus, we’re among those wishing for him to score more roles and projects that will further hone and highlight his acting chops because he’s truly deserving!Watch out for more action-packed scenes on “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/incognito">Incognito</a>,” weeknights on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), A2Z, and TV5.
