But he also mentioned that he has a strong will, though in a different way than the villain he portrays.

“May ibang lakas ng loob si McCoy din kasi in real life. Si David, duwag siya talaga. Ang character talaga niya, duwag si David,” he said, comparing himself to the villain he plays. “Pero si McCoy, lumakas lang talaga din ang loob sa mga pinagdaanan niya.”

He reflected on what he has learned after being in the industry for quite some time now.

“Hindi mawawala ang masasakit na salita sa industriya nito. And gagamitin mo ‘yun para ipagtibay mo ‘yung loob mo at tumagal ka dito,” he shared. “I think, and I should, ‘di pwedeng mag-give up. Kasi at some point, tao din tayo, meron din time na (may) downfall. Pero, ‘wag ka lang hihinto.”

He added how he personally doesn’t want to put limitations on himself as an actor, especially as it is the industry he sees himself growing old in.

“Ayokong maglagay ng limitation. Parang sabi ko, ‘pag tanda ko, parang ito ‘yung gusto kong gawin. Na marami pa ma-discover sa pagiging actor,” he said.

Meanwhile, McCoy also revealed his original dream of becoming an engineer. He was actually on that path already, fueld by the goal to build a house for his family.

“Gusto ko maging engineer. (Nag) Engineering ako sa Mapua. Gusto ko lang magpatayo ng bahay para sa pamilya ko,” he recalled. “

Before long, he found himself gravitating more towards acting. The idea was planted from seeing his parents act.

“Para lang alam ng iba, parents ko kasi nagti-theater. Lumaki ako na nakikita ko sila mag-acting. And ‘yun, meron pala akong kilig,” he shared. “Alam mo ‘yun, parang merong plan si God. Meron kang plan, pero may plan pala si God na iba sa’yo. Na doon ka palang mag-excel.”
