Get to know more about “Artista Academy” finalist Alberto Bruno, dubbed as "Mr. Intense of Marikina."

ALBERTO BRUNO
16 yrs. old
Marikina

For someone who lives in Italy and only stays in the Philippines during school vacations, this Filipino-Italian is amazingly fluent in the Filipino language. Though his Italian lineage is evident in his intense and spontaneous personality, he is also naturally charming, a quality that easily endears him to just about anyone who hears him talk. He admits that he only took a detour to the Artista Academy auditions in Cubao after he and his cousin played billiards in the area. He just tried out on a whim and never expected to make it this far in the competition.

Edge: He has “mass appeal.”

Weakness: Compared with other contestants, Bruno has not made an impact during the press presentation yesterday. He seemed to be clueless. He better come off with a game plan soon if he doesn’t want to be the first one to get the boot.

Edge of winning AA Best Actor: 100/1.
