Piolo Pascual, born 12 January, 1977, in Manila, Philippines, is a Filipino actor, singer, host and model.
Pascual's mother is Filipino and his father is German. He is a member of ABS-CBNs elite circle of homegrown talents collectively known as Star Magic. He first started his drama stint in the university wide theatrical group "Teatro Tomasino" of the University of Santo Tomas.
Pascual's early television credits include his stint as Kuya Miguel in ABS-CBN's educational show ATBP and as one of the many teen stars in GMA-7s musical variety show That's Entertainment. His first big break on the small screen came via a weekly primetime series entitled Sa Sandaling Kailangan Mo Ako (The Moment You Need Me), where he received an Asian TV Awards (1999) Best Drama Actor nomination for portraying the villain role of Raffy.
Pascual appeared briefly as Jussi Leino in The Vizconde Massacre (1991) directed by Carlo J. Caparas and had a supporting part in Batang PX (1997) directed by Joey Reyes. His first big cinema break was the title role in Lagarista (2000) directed by Mel Chionglo where he received his first Gawad Urian nomination (Best Actor). Lagarista was exhibited in the Toronto, Pusan and Hongkong film festivals.
Pascual was paired with Judy Ann Santos towards the end of the daily primetime series Esperanza (1997-1999) and a quick succession of film and tv projects followed: Esperanza - The Movie (1999) where he received his first Metro Manila Film Festival and FAMAS nominations (Best Supporting Actor), Kahit Isang Saglit (2000), Sa Puso Ko Iingatan Ka (2001-2003), Bakit 'Di Totohanin (2001) and Til There Was You (2003). They reunited in 2006 in the movie Don't Give Up On Us and in the soap opera Sa Piling Mo.
In 2001, Pascual appeared in a Sprite commercial. The plot is about a schoolgirl played by then unknown comedienne, Toni Gonzaga who could not help but scream "I love you, Piolo!" at the mere sight of him. To date, he remains as one of the most effective endorsers in the Philippines. He also played a supporting role in Mila directed by Joel Lamangan opposite Philippines' Diamond Star Maricel Soriano where he received his first Film Academy of the Philippines (now called Luna) nomination (Best Supporting Actor) for portraying Primo, the drug addict lover of schoolteacher Mila.
In 2002, Pascual played the pivotal role of Jules Bartolome opposite Philippine's Star for All Seasons Vilma Santos and Christopher de Leon, in Dekada '70, a film based on Lualhati Bautista's novel of the same title about Amanda Bartolome and her family's struggle during the Marcos regime in the Philippines. Pascual scored a rare Best Supporting Actor grand slam collecting a total of eight awards starting with the Metro Manila Film Festival in December 2002 and culminating with the Gawad Urian in May 2003. After this Pascual, made several movies to Star Cinema, ABS-CBNs sister company.
Pascual has become a rare male multi-media artist delving simultaneously in the acting, hosting, endorsing, recording, and concert arenas.
