Ananda Everingham is a popular actor in Thailand who is of Australian-Laotian descent. He has appeared in 11 feature films and 2 television shows, to date. You are, now, probably asking yourselves, “he is not Pinoy, why is he featured here in this site?” Well, he is set to do a movie in the Philippines, that’s why.

The movie, which has yet to be given a title, will be written and directed by Filipino indie film director Adolfo Alix, Jr. who directed the film “Donsol” and “Daybreak“. According to sources, Director Adolfo Alix, Jr. met Ananda at the Bangkok International Film Festival during the screening of the the former’s directorial debut film “Donsol”. The 25-year old actor was reportedly impressed with the digital film that he readily agreed to star in the Filipino director’s next project.

The theme of the movie is about the disputed Spratly Islands. And the 5′10″-tall actor/model will play a Pinoy character in the movie. An amazing piece of trivia about this actor that he is willing to learn the Filipino language in order to make his portrayal in the film more believable. Hmmm… Interesting…

Just an observation, Ananda’s resemblance to our very own Piolo Pascual is uncanny, don’t you agree?
