Guess what?:  Junot prefers film to TV

J

AKARTA: Herjunot '€œJunot'€ Ali says he wants to focus on big-screen roles rather than soap operas so he can grow as an actor.

Junot said that local soap operas (sinetron) offered simple characters and few challenges.

'€œI want to build up trust from the audience by showing quality performances. I get '€˜quantity viewing'€™ through soap operas, but people will get tired with me doing the same character over and over again,'€ the star of 5 cm and Tenggelamnya Kapal Van der Wijck said in Jakarta as quoted by tribunnews.com.

The 29-year-old will headline the greatly anticpated big-screen adaptation of Dewi '€œDee'€ Lestari'€™s Supernova #1: Kesatria, Putri & Bintang Jatuh.
