Maligno, Diether Ocampo, Claudine Barreto!

Diether Ocampo and Claudine Barreto star in ABS-CBN's Cineserye 'Maligno'. It also stars Rafael Rosell, Gerald Anderson, Kim Chiu, and DJ Durano. Full picture gallery after the jump.

In preparation for the role first portrayed by Dante Rivero, Diether Ocampo opted not to watch the 1977 film so that he would be able to give his own interpretation of the character of Hector. He is the pediatrician who becomes attracted to Angela (Claudine).

Rafael Rosell was hailed as the Best Supporting Actor in the 2007 Gawad Urian Awards for his role in the indie film Rome and Juliet. Rafael is quick to express his joy and gratitude for his latest mainstream project. "I really feel that ABS-CBN really believes in my career as an actor."

In Maligno, he portrays a strange painter who is obsessed with Angela (Claudine). As Lucas Santander, he turns out to be the man destined in a prophecy to be the father of the devil's son.

Gerald Anderson says of his latest project: "[I'm] very, very privileged and thankful because this is my first time to do horror, it's our first mature role and I'm very happy and privileged to work with people like Ms. Claudine and Diet. So very happy po, very happy." PEP
