Adrian Louis Castro Alandy (born February 7, 1980), formerly known as Luis Alandy, is a Filipino actor and model. His first acting role was as David in the TV series Pangako Sa 'Yo. He has since appeared in soap operas, as well as in theater, appearing in the stage musical All About Men, in which he was naked on stage. After this he began showing more skin in his work, as well as playing gay roles on screen. He has also starred in a number of hit movies like Pacquiao: The Movie, Citizen Jake and Alone/Together. He constantly alternates between working with ABS-CBN and GMA.

Early life[edit]

Alandy was brought up as a Methodist growing up in Antipolo alongside his three brothers and one sister. Growing up, he wanted to be a basketball player or a chef.[1] He studied at San Sebastian College, but never got to finish his studies due to his acting career.[1][2]

Career[edit]

Start with GMA Network[edit]

Alandy started out as a GMA Network artist in 1997 after going to an audition with his cousin.[3] He first used the name Luis Alandy, the name of his grandfather.[4] As one of GMA's first contract artists, he had roles in Di Ba't Ikaw, Bubble Gang, and others.[3] One of his first roles was supposed to be the series Click. However, a misunderstanding with GMA caused him to transfer to ABS-CBN.[5] In between transferring networks, he focused on his studies as a junior BSBA Management student at AMA Computer University-East Rizal and lived for six months in California.[3][1]

First stint with ABS-CBN[edit]

In 2001, Alandy transferred to ABS-CBN Network. One of his first projects was a significant role next to Judy Ann Santos in the film Luv Text, also his first film role. He also attended acting workshops held by the network.[3] He made his ABS-CBN television drama debut on Pangako Sa'Yo in the role of David San Luis, the childhood best friend of the female lead Yna Macaspac (Kristine Hermosa). This was followed by his role as a suitor in Sa Dulo ng Walang Hanggan.[6] He then starred in another film alongside Judy Ann Santos in May Pag-Ibig Pa Kaya?[7] In 2003, he reunited with Hermosa in the romance series Sana’y Wala Nang Wakas.[6]

With ABS-CBN, Alandy shed his wholesome image. In 2004, he modeled boxer shorts for Bench.[1] He then joined the musical revue Penis Talks, in which he wore only his underwear.[8] In 2006, he played the antagonist Diego in Gulong ng Palad, the remake of the 1949 hit radio drama and 1977 telenovela. He also joined the all-male macho group Barako Boys, alongside Jay Manalo and Christian Vasquez, which has released an album.[9]

2010s[edit]

Alandy subsequently returned from ABS-CBN to GMA Network, appearing in two primetime shows, Dyesebel and Luna Mystika. He then starred in the action thriller Sine Novela: Ngayon at Kailanman, playing a villain. In 2011, he was the leading man on My Lover, My Wife.[10] Later on, he starred in Innamorata as a blind man who fell in love with the main character.[11] In 2015, Alandy played David Limjoco in the lesbian TV series The Rich Man's Daughter.[12]

In 2016, Alandy moved back to ABS-CBN. He portrayed the character of Chad Cruz in the daytime series The Greatest Love.[6] In 2017 he changed his on-screen name from Luis Alandy to Adrian Alandy, his birth name, to avoid confusion with his cousin, Cavite Rep. Luis "Jonjon" Alandy Ferrer IV, and to show appreciation for his parents.[4][citation needed] In 2018, he made a special appearance on Asintado.[6]

Alandy then returned to GMA Network in a leading man role in Onanay.[13] In 2018, he starred in the film Citizen Jake.[14] Later that year, he returned to ABS-CBN in the lead role of 'Carlos' in the afternoon series Kadenang Ginto, alongside Dimples Romana, Beauty Gonzales, and Albert Martinez.[13][15] Kadenang Ginto was a ratings hit, leading the ratings for the afternoon block.[16] He also played Liza Soberano's boss and boyfriend in Alone/Together.[17]

2020–present[edit]

In 2021, Alandy starred in an episode of MMK alongside Angel Aquino.[18]

After three years, Alandy returned to GMA with a role in the second season of the anthology series I Can See You.[19] He then had roles in Stories from the Heart: Loving Miss Bridgette and Widows' Web.[13][20] In 2023, he played the main antagonist role of 'Magnus Illusorio' the corrupt politician and greedy man in the afternoon series Magandang Dilag, alongside Herlene Budol, Benjamin Alves, Rob Gomez, and Maxine Medina.[21]

Personal life[edit]

Alandy married Joselle Fernandez on February 17, 2017, in Tagaytay.[22][23] He was 37 years old and she was 23 years old when they got married.[24] He had previously been in relationships with Tin Arnaldo and Desiree del Valle.[1]

Alandy is a distant relative of actor Romeo Vasquez.[1]

Alandy learned how to ride a motorbike around age 40. It has since become his hobby to go on motorbike rides.[13]
