Despite being a neophyte, Laurence Mossman began to carve a name in acting after favorable notices for his portrayal as Signore Mossman or Mr. Mossman in ABS-CBN’s Dolce Amore with Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil.
His first TV appearance on Feb. 28 became a trending topic on social media. Laurence received high praises for his ultimately close-to-real life portrayal on the role of a young billionaire Mr. Mossman whom Serene (Liza) thought could help their family solve their bankruptcy problem. However, it turned out that Mr. Mossman took advantage of her, and Tenten (Enrique) readily came to the rescue.
Laurence said he has mixed emotions after the various reactions from viewers. “I am elated and a little bit sad at the same time. Elated because people have approved my acting. They are convinced by my portrayal. It means I have passed the acting test. (I am) sad because I have become the subject of ranting comments on social media. I understand that they are just carried away by my character Mr. Mossman. Sana hanggang doon na lang because I am not really like Mr. Mossman in real life,” added the Kiwinoy (half-Kiwi, half-Filipino).
Laurence was born to a Kiwi or New Zealander father and a Filipina mother. He was raised in New Zealand but has been visiting the country every now and then. Two years ago, Laurence decided to try his luck in the Philippine entertainment industry and was included in the all-male singing trio called The Primo, which has regular shows at Resorts World Manila. He is a native English-speaking guy who likes to sing Tagalog songs.
Laurence’s exposure in Dolce Amore might be extended. There are also talks that he will be given a follow-up project soon. Aside from the teleserye and his regular show at Resorts World, Laurence is also busy with promotional tours and provincial shows as the ambassador of Psalmstre New Placenta for Men.
