Carlo Aquino
We can still remember how Carlo Aquino almost made it as a cast member of the phenomenal Korean series "Squid Game,"and how much he regret that this didn't push through because of the pandemic. Despite that, there are still many things he can be grateful for. He recently finished a US Tour with Star Magic, and stars in the new movie "Expensive Candy." Now, it has just been revealed that Carlo has landed his first international role.
