"I'm
very
flattered
when
people
say
that
I'd
be
the
next
Dolphy
but
I
refuse
to
believe
I
can
fill
in
the
shoes
of
my
father.
There
will
never
be
another
Dolphy." |

Hardworking
and
industrious
are
two
words
that
may
best
describe
Epy
Quizon
right
now.
He
co-hosts
“Road
Trip,”
a
travel
show
with
his
brother
Eric.
He
is
also
host
of
“Art
Jam,”
an
arts
and
crafts
educational
show
for
children.
Epy
is
also,
of
course,
a
mainstay
of “Quizon
Avenue.”
In
the
field
cinema, Epy
has
just
completed
plenty
of
full
length
features:
Pinoy
Blonde
for
avant
garde
director
Peque
Gallaga,
Las
Pungols
for
independent
filmmaker
Sig
Barrios
Sanchez,
Pepot
Artista
for
acclaimed
writer/director
Doy
del
Mundo,
and
Boso,
Jon
Red’s
sexy
digital
movie
for
Viva
Films.
Boso,
Epy
points
out
is a
“very
experimental
film
that’s
very,
very
sexy.”
With
the
variety
of
projects
that
he’s
been
doing,
Epy
is
able
to
reach
out
to a
wide
range
of
audiences.
At
the
same
time,
these
fulfill
his
creative
side.
“I
love
being
on
the
edge.
I
love
experimenting.
I am
an
actor.
That’s
what
I
do.
I
love
entertaining
people,
from
kids
to
adults.”
Aside
from
his
TV
and
film
work,
Epy
is
also
a
photographer
and
an
events
organizer.
Like
his
brother
Eric,
Epy
has
also
tried
his
hand
at
directing, particularly
a
few
audio-visual
presentations
for
corporate
clients.
Directing
a
film
is
one
of
his
future
goals
but
Epy
believes
that
has
to
take
a
while.
“I’m
thinking
of a
right
project
before
I
direct.
‘Pag
tama
at
‘pag
gusto
ko
ang
proyekto,
saka
ako
sasalang.
I’m
still
into
the
learning
process.”
He
makes
an
effort
to
observe
the
directors
he's working
with.
“Binabantayan ko
how
they
do
their
scenes.
I
try
to
learn
from
them,”
says
Epy.
What
makes
his
profession
more
interesting
for
him
is
the
chance
to
meet
and
interact
with
people
and
learn
from
them.
For
Epy,
there
is
still
so
much
to
see
and
discover.
“I
learn
from
everyone.
Lahat
mentor
ko,”
he
underscores.
“Even
anak
ko,
mentor
ko.
Natututunan
ko
sa
kanya
kung
paano
maging
tatay.”
Yes
Epy
is a
father.
He
has
a
son
who
is
now
ten
years
old
and
lives
in
the
United
States.
While
Epy
prefers
to
keep
that
part
of
his
life
private,
he
is
proud
to
say
that
his
son
is
the
inspiration
in
his
career
and
more
importantly,
his
life.
Epy
is
eager
to
take
on
more
creative
pursuits
as
an
actor.
“I
want
things
that
would
challenge
me.
I
want
a
role
that
I
would
learn
from.”
We
ask
Epy
how
old
he
is
and
he
pauses
before
answering.
“Thirty
two,”
he
says.
“Nag-isip
pa
kasi
wala
na
sa
kalendaryo!”
He
dreams
of
having
a
farm
in
the
province
where
he
could
grow
vegetables
to
eat.
“Actually
kung
hindi
ako
artista,
malamang
agriculturist
ako,”
says
Epy.
“Aside
from
having
a
family
of
my
own,
and
sticking
to a
career
path
in
entertainment,
it’s
still
hard
for
me
to
see
what
my
main
goal
in
life
is.”
Whatever
Epy
chooses,
we’re
pretty
certain
that
his
choices
would
be
very
exciting!
