Rufio Rufio Rufio RU FI OOOOOOO

 

Inside info on "Hook": They casted Dante at 15 for the role of Rufio. During his auditions the casting director loved Dante for the role because his "look" was very non-specific to any ethnic group...OBVIOUSLY the Filipinos did not have a solid nitch in the Hollywood market atthe time.

 

lol they were like what kind of crazy asian person are you? Philippines whats that? is that near china?

 

Rufio played a gay in another movie... i forgot the title... Gay rufio FTMFL

 

"But im a Cheerleader" from 2000, he was a gay wrestler.

 

 

Lookie Lookie, I got Hookie!


Nice Rol! That's so cool!
