Bobby Andrews is a Filipino American actor and former matinee idol. Starting out as a commercial model, he rose to fame when he teamed up with Angelu de Leon in the famous teen-oriented television show T.G.I.S. and its sequel Growing Up.
His team up with de Leon in the mid and late 1990s made him very popular: Their TV shows gained sky-high ratings and their movies are certified blockbuster hits. He was paired with other actresses during that time, but his popularity almost came to a halt when in 1998 at the peak of his and de Leon's popularity when Angelu admitted to the public that she was pregnant with Joko Diaz's child. Despite this, Bobby had the full support of his mother company Viva and managed to get remarkable TV and movie roles as a solo actor. After breaking away from Viva in 2002, he shifted from matinee idol roles to offbeat roles in several ABS-CBN and GMA Network shows.
In 2009 Bobby appeared in the Philippine remake series of Zorro aired on GMA Network. He was part of the installment of Sine Novela called Kaya Kong Abutin Ang Langit with Iza Calzado, Wendell Ramos and Angelika dela Cruz.
Maria Luisa Angela Martinez de Leon-Rivera (born August 22, 1979, in Manila, Philippines), more famously known as Angelu de Leon, is a television and film actress in the Philippines.
Angelu de Leon is the youngest daughter of Luis and Flora de Leon. She attended St. Joseph's College, Holy Spirit and Siena College. She made her first commercial, without her father's knowledge, when she was just ten years old. Her father eventually gave his blessing to her acting career before his death from colon cancer. She is reportedly a born-again evangelical Christian. A lot of people is doubting that.[citation needed]
De Leon started television acting at the age of 12. She was discovered by Johnny Manahan for a kiddie gag show Ang TV aired over ABS-CBN. She shared screen time with Claudine Barretto, Jolina Magdangal, and Rica Peralejo. After about a year on Ang TV, she signed up with Viva Films and transferred to GMA Network to do a sitcom called Ober Da Bakod with Janno Gibbs and Anjo Yllana.
