HIS RETURN TO DAILY TV Pangino said his character has been wounded by life and what he has seen, and hides most of his scars under his smooth, and controlled exterior.

--

Fiercely loyal to those he loves and trusts, he's the guy you want by your side when you need a friend.

But betray him, and you discover how cold he can be; never vindictive, just icy; once bitten, you never get the chance to bite him again.

The actor said he's been doing scripted series' and films in between Survivor and other endeavours since his last soapie.

He joined the M-Net telenovela as he was fascinated by season one of the telenovela and enjoyed the writing and creative style of the show.

Pangino says the production company contacted him and asked if he would be interested in doing a storyline on season two of the show.

--

He also told the publication that he loves acting as he enjoys embodying a new persona with different challenges and driving forces.

Question is, will he survive Felicity??? #LegacySA https://t.co/Db05aPhExQ
