Epy Quizon is no stranger to playing eccentric villains in superhero and fantasy projects.
“Some people may go, ‘Hmm, that’s not Zuhl … he didn’t totally get it.’ But with my other roles, I had a bit of wiggle room for mistakes because we created them. As Zuhl, if I make a mistake, or make the wrong choices on how to attack the role, I’m sure the fanatics and those who have seen the anime will make comparisons,” he added.Because the source material is an animated series, replicating the character was next to impossible.
“It was difficult to copy the original because he’s a cartoon … But I was given the freedom to put together a portrayal that’s not too cartoonish. There were some small details about my Zuhl that are a little different, but I believe that my portrayal will still remind them of Zuhl, from the movements to the sarcastic humor,” he said. “I owned the character.”
Epy was the very first actor to be cast for “Voltes V.” When Direk Mark learned he was going to be in charge of the show, he knew that Epy had to be his Zuhl. “He told me, ‘Actually, you’re the first actor cast. Ikaw na si Zuhl,’” Epy related.The 50-year-old actor didn’t have qualms about playing yet another villain. In fact, he relishes it. “I just love playing roles that are unique and offbeat, roles that can make the people either love or hate me. It’s a big challenge.
