Having the time of his life

MANILA, Philippines - Mark Herras has started taping a TV series that will showcase his knack for dancing. GMA 7’s Time Of My Life puts the Ultimate Bad Boy of the Dance Floor in the lead role.

With Kris Bernal as his leading lady, Mark is Patrick in the story about friends and the dancing and drama surrounding it. Patrick is part of a service crew of a diner and probably serves as the dance floor manager . 

“I’m excited about this project and we’re making sure we will not disappoint the televiewers,” said Mark.

The danceserye will feature talented participants from Jumpin and I-Shine seen on Party Pilipinas where Mark regularly performs. It can be recalled that last year he hosted the reality TV talent show titled Danz Showdown.

Joining Mark in Time of My Life are Ryza Cenon, Rocco Nacino, Enzo Pineda, Stef Cadayona, Sarah Lahbati and Diva Montelaba.     

Mark said, “I think it’s about time na magkaroon ng ganitong TV soap. Parami na ng parami ang taong interesado sa dancing kaya interesting talaga ang ganitong idea.”

Mark is also involved in I-Shine mentoring kids to be future stars. He guested on the show as facilitator of a dance workshop. 

Considering the late Michael Jackson, Usher and Justin Timberlake as his influences, Mark has developed his own dancing style in making snappy, terrific moves on stage. 

The way he struts has made a mark in the eyes of viewers that his moniker is all but a positive take on the fusion of his talent and good looks, in the way that Robin Padilla is dubbed as Philippine Cinema’s Bad Boy. Well, it makes sense that the dancing bad boy who wants to try doing action films idolizes Robin whom he worked with in Joaquin Bordado.

The following year he co-starred with Jennylyn Mercado in the remake of Paano Ba Ang Mangarap? which turned out to be a daytime top-rater. 

“When it comes to acting, I try to improve myself in delivering lines. And I’m learning and discovering new acting and dancing styles to keep my fans entertain,” he said.

Time of My Life will premiere this month.
