Rajs Gange, born on February 27, 1972, in Iloilo City, has enveloped himself in a world where the camera flashes, the director yells “cut”, and where characters come to life under the bright limelight of the stage.
Rising through the ranks to become a recognizable Filipino actor and director, Rajs has embarked on a multifaceted journey through the realms of showbiz, which unravels not only a story of dreams and ambitions but also of heartfelt advocacies and sincere love for his craft and community.
When Rajs was 21, a revelation gently nudged him towards a path laden with characters, stories, and emotions – the showbiz industry. It wasn’t just the glamor that allured him but an earnest desire to experience acting and a thought that this might be the pivotal way to uplift his family. His journey wasn’t devoid of challenges.
Trials often came in the form of people, some posing as friends and family, attempting to derail his path. Yet, Rajs stood resilient amidst the hurdles, cherishing his struggles as they shaped his stardom.
Rajs, who acquired specialization in Japanese Study from West Visayas State University, was significantly influenced by prominent figures like Dolphy, Angel Locsin, Robin Padilla, Vilma Santos, and Nora Aunor. They not only nudged him into the industry but also became the constant motivational entities in his career.
With appearances in TV series like “Bubble Gang” and “Minute to Win It” on renowned networks like ABS-CBN and GMA, Rajs swiftly evolved from an aspiring actor to an established one. His stint as a host on IBC-TV 13 for “Talents Academy Moviethon” and roles in over 7 local and international movies affirm his flourishing career.
But amidst these successes, his heart always echoed a melodic desire – to sing. Rajs disclosed a dream yet to be realized: he wishes to explore the field of music alongside his present commitments.
Despite his palpable presence in front of the camera, Rajs has orchestrated a symphony of love, hope, and dreams behind it. His advocacy revolves around a beautiful and compelling cause: aiding the less fortunate, especially those whose dreams flicker in their eyes yet are suppressed by their incapacities to bring them to fruition.
His endeavors extend to providing awards and recognizing those who have made significant contributions to the industry. Among those basked in his goodwill are street children, for whom the realms of dreams often appear distant.
Rajs himself has been adorned with laurels acknowledging his talent and humanitarian pursuits. He was conferred the Best Actor at the HB & Cultures of Arts Film Festival held in Quezon City and was named the Most Outstanding Good Samaritan & Philanthropist of the Year at the Philippine Fashion Trend.
Furthermore, his expertise was sought as a judge at the 1st Idol World Philippines and Pacific Australian Ms. Teens, underscoring his esteemed position in the industry.
Despite the tribulations, Rajs adheres to a mantra that has been his guiding light: hard work, perseverance, unwavering faith in God, and the pursuit of righteousness.
His advice to aspiring showbiz hopefuls resonates with his own journey – to be patient, diligent, and to trust in divine timing, for God perceives the true desires of one’s heart.
