Sam Milby: Just call me Mr. Busybody

Sam Milby is not a fan of being idle.

Fresh from the success of the recently concluded ABS-CBN TV series “Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala,” where he even earned raves for his performance as Eros, Sam is now busy shooting a new movie dubbed “The Gifted,” co-starring Anne Curtis and Cristine Reyes.

“So far so good,” he intimated.

Milby maintains that the new movie will allow him to discover a new facet in his abilities as an actor.

“Kasi iba siya. Hindi ko pa puwede sabihin kung ano exactly ang role ko but I assure you iba ito sa mga dati ko nang ginawa,” he told Bulletin Entertainment.

Although he admits that part of his decision to take the project on so soon after the series was due to the movie having long been planned, he also insists that he’d rather keep himself busy than lose his momentum.

“I don’t want naman to just sit around doing nothing,” he maintained.

More work? Bring it on!

Apart from the movie, Milby is now venturing into her first business outside showbiz, the bar cum resto called Prost located at The Fort Strip.

Having just recently opened its doors to customers, Milby describe Prost as: “A pub of sorts na very cozy ang vibe. Beer primarily ang drink dito.”

Ironically, Milby is not really fond of beer.

“Yeah, including pork sausages, which we also serve,” he admitted with a smile. “Pero we have a long list din of quality but affordable wines, which I help select.”

As for his favorite food on the menu, he added: “I skip the sausages but I really love the sauerkraut we make here; and, of course, my favorite, the Hoff burger, which we serve on a bagel topped with pesto cream cheese, salsa, alfalfa sprouts and an organic fried egg. Sarap.”

Milby said he hangs out often at Prost together with some friends from showbiz like John Prats and Bea Alonzo.

“Gusto ko kasi ang sarap mag-unwind dito after work or kahit walang work, kasi very relaxing ’yung ambience.”

Asked if he has already invited Jessy Mendiola to his pub, Milby: “Yeah. She liked it here.”

Simply Jessy…

Milby, who admitted in past interviews his intent to woo the “Maria Mercedes” star, intimated that he is taking his sweet time in courting the actress.

“We’re just getting to know each other at this point. Relax lang ganyan,” he said smiling.

Apparently Milby is not bothered that Mendiola is also being courted by a few men, including Jake Cuenca.

“Marami actually, hindi lang si Jake. I understand meron din na non-showbiz (suitors) pero okay lang… kasi sa akin, I believe na all is fair in love and war.”

What can he say about Cuenca already declaring “may the best man win” as a seeming challenge to him?

“He has his way of making ligaw. I have my way of making ligaw,” Milby shot back confidently, adding that he has some advantages over Cuenca in that “naggigitara ako, kumakanta ako. I have experience over him.” He says this in jest.

Turning serious however, Milby said: “You know, I don’t want to make an issue na parang may big competition between me and Jake. We’re friends. Wala kaming problema.”
