Giovannie Espiritu Instagram – I’d like to thank the Academy…
For approving me as a new member of the Television Academy’s Performers Peer Group! 🏆📺✨
This milestone is especially significant as I embark on creating my first series, a six-episode romantic comedy titled “Maid to Shine” for the Fil-Am TV network. 🎬💖✨
Being part of the Television Academy allows me to contribute to and learn from the best in the industry while working on this exciting new project that highlights Filipino representation.
Thank you to everyone who has supported and believed in me. Let’s continue to create and celebrate amazing television together! 🎬💫
The slides are to honor some of my favorite projects in this journey:
1) ER. My first union role was a recurring Med Student named Ludlow. They Taft-hartleyed me because I spoke Tagalog, but never had to on the show.
2) Titanic 666. Had a great time screaming my head off on this project. Technically it’s not “TV” as it had a theatrical run in South America but it premiered as a Tubi Original and was translated into many languages.
3) BTS of Trauma. I played Kirsten, an office worker who got shot by a disgruntled employee and am tended to by Derek Luke and Taylor Kinney.
4) Perfect Harmony. I loved watching Tyberlee Hill and Will Greenberg improvise.
5) 911:Lone Star. Rescued by Brian Micheal Smith and Natasha Karam. Plus it’s a Ryan Murphy show so you know it’s inclusive AF.
6) Bob Hearts Abishola. My first live taping AND I got to shake Chuck Lorre’s hand!
7) Young Sheldon. Annie Potts is my hero. She’s just so wonderful and the crew/cast is like a family on this set. The vibes are good.
8&9) Dyke Central on Amazon. Playing Gin was an honor because it was the first genderqueer Filipina representation that I know of. I got mail internationally about the impact this series made on peoples’ lives, particularly in countries and states where they were afraid to be authentic themselves because of the backlash.
