Viewers are definitely loving Anthony Jennings in a whole new light with his latest assignment as Tomas Guerrero in “Incognito,” where he flexes his versatility in an action-packed role but still manages to keep that candid charm and comedic timing that we all love him for. While it’s still early days for the series, it’s already shaping up to be a total hit.
He really does transform into his characters. We’ve seen him switch it up in the past, such as in his role as the funny guy Rhamboy in the LizQuen-starrer "Make It With You," which was his first-ever teleserye after his debut as part of the Star Magic Batch 2019, alongside batchmates Belle Mariano, Gillian Vicencio, JC Alcantara, Jeremiah Lisbo, and Kyle Echarri just to name a few.
Then, there was his role as Cronus in "The Iron Heart," where he got to share the screen with Richard Gutierrez and Ian Veneracion, who are now his teammates in "Incognito." Although this was his first real taste of action-packed scenes, his role centered more on brotherhood with his best friend Troy (Louise Abuel) and how friendship transformed him from a rebellious guy to someone seeking redemption through good deeds.
He also donned the character of Rocky, the leader of 'Team WISE,' a group of young coffee entrepreneurs in the fictional town of La Guerta in the barkada series “Tara, G.”
Of course, Anthony stole our hearts as the funny ‘raketero’ Snoop Manansala in "Can't Buy Me Love," where his humor won us over, just like his character captured the heart of Irene Tiu, played by Maris Racal—whom he’s now reunited with in "Incognito."
If you’ve recently discovered Anthony’s undeniable charm and talent, here are five fun facts about him that will give you a peek into his life off-camera.
The first trivia is that he is a huge anime fan. And honestly, knowing "Naruto" is his all-time favorite series just makes him so cool.
Anthony calls himself a Typhoon Ondoy survivor. “Binaha ‘yung bahay namin hanggang second floor, so isa ako sa mga batang lumalangoy sa baha," he recalled. If you listen to his previous interviews, you'll notice one of his admirable qualities is his ability to remain resilient and positive despite the challenges he's encountered in the past.
He dreams of visiting Japan someday, inspired by his love for anime. Besides basketball games, he enjoys watching mixed martial arts (MMA) fights. Lastly, he has a mix of British, Spanish, Chinese, and Filipino ancestry.
