More Iza Calzado news...
Iza started out as a guest teen star in the now defunct show, Click, which led to further roles. Her inclusion in the drama Kung Mawawala ka made everyone notice her acting skills thus making GMA decide that she should be given lead roles. Iza won her first heroine role on the soap opera Te Amo (I Love You) with the Argentine actor Segundo Cernadas.
Iza Calzado bagged her original role in The Echo, the English-language remake of Filipino director Yam Laranas’ horror film Sigaw. Calzado will be sharing the screen with Hollywood actor Jesse Bradford, who was last seen in Clint Eastwood’s World War II epic Flags of Our Fathers. Bradford will portray an ex-convict who is entangled in the troubles of a battered wife (Calzado). Although she will be reprising a role that won her an Urian Best Supporting Actress award in 2005, she still had to audition.
Iza is also working on a movie with Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera entitled One True Love. Iza Calzado says she wants to take time off from TV projects to concentrate on movies. |
