Chynna Ortaleza is a proud believer of the showbiz dictum — ‘There are no small roles, only small actors’.

She accepts a role no matter how small, as long as she gets to showcase her talent.

Of late, she has been typecast as a villainess in some projects, and the actress doesn’t mind because it keeps her busy; and she relishes the moment when she gets maligned in public because it means her portrayal is effective.

Her latest TV project is Dading, where she plays, no surprises, a villainess who makes life miserable for one of the lead female artists.

She gets a respite from being a kontrabida (villain) though in two films — Dementia and Hustisya — that she is doing, both with the legendary Nora Aunor as the lead artist.
