After 30 years in TV film and theater, where she has performed in plays by Samuel Beckett, Harold Pinter and Shakespeare, Filipina actress Dolly De Leon ...

I was part of all the arts clubs, and it really became serious when I went to university and I did a Bachelor of Arts in Theater Arts. DE LEON: It really all started in Cannes, and after that it just snowballed. DE LEON: People have asked me if I want to live in the United States, but I’m still a very happy living in the Philippines. DE LEON: You know, before this, whenever I would get a call for a job, the question would just be, “Are you free?” I’d say, “Yeah, I’m free!” [Laughs] It was never a question about what role to play or what project to say yes or no to. I think that when I’m in a place of “danger”, when I’m not in a very comfortable position, that’s when I’m really in my element, and that’s when I really enjoy myself. It was really strange, because all of a sudden people are praising you, all of a sudden, you’re getting compliments, all of a sudden, the offers are different, all of a sudden, you’re getting better job opportunities. A lot of conversations have opened about this, and there have been some questions asking, ‘Shouldn’t we be resisting this trend that seems to be happening, that the Filipino is always being represented as a helper, or a caregiver, or someone who’s a worker in the service industry?’ To me, there’s nothing wrong with that at all, because that’s the reality. And that’s when I started doing it professionally and that’s when I really started learning more about the craft. I started playing the best friend of the lead, or the mother of the lead. I felt like I was in a new world that was so exciting to me. DE LEON: I think that’s one of the things that really excite me and drive me as an actor — when I’m working with delicate subject matters and when I’m working with a very talented director. I auditioned with three scenes from the film, and then I met with Ruben via Skype, where we just chatted a bit, talked about the film and talked about the character.

De Leon admits that she planned for Abigail to have “affection” for Carl and shared this with Dickinson only after filming, and he told her that he felt the same.

She knows how to play the game of being a compliant, tolerant, and obedient employee.” In addition, the Golden Globe nominee stresses that her character is “a very good observer,” sharing, “She knows how they play the card of leader… why she can survive on an island.” Abigail has a very rich trajectory in the film, and de Leon felt that without her preparation before shooting, she “would be going into filming and I would go on set winging it and faking it.” See our [latest prediction champs](https://www.goldderby.com/best-prediction-scores/awards/league-data/).
