Adrian Louis Alandy (born February 7, 1980), better known as Luis Alandy, is a Filipino actor and model. Alandy started his career as a model. He first appeared in a print magazine and was soon discovered to do acting. He landed his first acting role in the popular TV series Pangako Sa 'Yo (2000) as David.
Biography
Alandy completed an intensive course in computer at AMA Computer College-East Rizal (Philippines). He then studied psychology at San Sebastian College, but dropped out in his third year to try his luck in show business. "I love the hardships of acting," Luis said when asked what attracted him to becoming an actor.
Luis Alandy started out as a GMA-7 talent but when he realized that his career wasn't going anywhere, he left his home network and transferred to ABS-CBN. He has since appeared in several soap operas and has started to become a household name and a recognizable matinee idol. As with most stars, his star shone less brightly with the advent of reality TV searches for new artists. He became less visible in showbiz and that led him to venture into showing a bit more skin. His initial salvo was in theater. He, together with other male sexy stars, appeared in the controversial stage musical All About Men, in which he bared his body for the audience.
After this exposure, he has become less self-conscious and more daring, for instance showing more skin in a pictorial, and playing gay roles on screen.
He has appeared in several TV series in the Philippines, including Sana'y Wala Nang Wakas (2003), Vietnam Rose (2005) and Gulong ng Palad (2006). He has recently starred in a number of box-office movies like Pacquiao: The Movie (2006) and Barcelona (2006). Alandy buffed up his body for Bench underwear fashion shows, and for the musical revue Penis Talks (2004). He is also a member of the all-male macho group Barako Boys.
He confessed that in his eight years in show-business, he experienced being at the bottom of the wheel. He remembered contemplating whether he would land TV or movie projects because of competition becoming stiffer with the emergence of newer actors.
He was a member of the all-male macho group Barako Boys (with the award-winning actor Jay Manalo, Christian Vasquez, Carlo Maceda, Reggie Curley, and Paolo Paraiso). The group has released a musical album.
He switched from ABS-CBN to GMA Network. He appeared in his two primetime shows on GMA. Dyesebel is considered as Alandy's biggest break. After Dyesebel, Alandy starred in the primetime show Luna Mystika. He then starred in the action thriller Sine Novela: Ngayon At Kailanman, playing the most villainous role ever. In 2015, Alandy played a major role as David Limjoco in the hit lesbian TV series The Rich Man's Daughter.
In 2016 he went back to his home network, ABS-CBN. He plays Chad, the husband of Amanda (Dimples Romana) on the hit Kapamilya daytime series The Greatest Love.
