Leon Miguel is the screen name of Filipino actor, model, and engineer, Noel I. Aparilla (born December 17, 1968). He gained world-wide attention and notoriety for his role as the leading villain, Visel, in a Tribeca film crime-thriller entry, ''Graceland: A Life for Every Lie'' (2012)〔Graceland Movie | http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2131523/〕 directed by Ron Morales. ''Graceland's'' premiere in the Tribeca Film Festival mesmerized audiences〔http://tribecafilm.com/stories/ron-morales-graceland〕 in the 2012 festival and was awarded Second Place in Audience Choice Award. ''Graceland'' also had its Canadian premiere in the Fantasia International Film Festival in July 2012 in Montreal, Canada and it also won Audience Award at the Gasparilla Film Festival in Tampa, Florida. Having successfully participated in previous international film festivals, Leon Miguel is currently getting plenty of invites from various international film organisations for his latest work in ''Mang Abe's Ube'', a modern-day folktale about a Filipino ube farmer trying to protect his magical source of success from corporate crooks, directed by Paolo Bitanga. Leon Miguel was featured in the November 2014 issue of ''Manila Bulletin'' titled "International filmfest veteran is proudly from Masbate". ==Early career== In a span of a little over a decade, Leon Miguel's career in the entertainment world was more than the typical story of an artist struggling to survive. He was into films, theatre, television shows and television commercial ads, practically accepting every possible role that he can get his hands into concentrating rather intently in sharpening his skills as an actor and learning the ropes and nuances of the industry. He broke into international scenes through movies and television presentations appearing in American, Japanese and Italian movies shot in the Philippines. Such American movies were: ''In the Name of the Queen'' (1996) of NCRV/TEWES Production and directed by Bram Van Erkel, portraying the “Djahat Warrior” (Indonesian); ''Behind Enemy Lines'' (1998) of Philippine Film Studio, Inc. (PFSI) and directed by Mark Griffiths, playing as the “Vietnamese Gangster Leader;” ''Legacy'' (1998) of Star Pacific International Productions and directed by T.J. Scott, doing the role of a “Cambodian Rebel Leader,” together with David Hasselhoff and Rod Steiger; and ''Going Back'' (2000), of GFT Films, Inc. and directed by Sydney Furie, portraying as the “Vietnamese Thief,” together with the lead actor, Casper Van Dien. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leon Miguel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
