5 things to know about Radson Flores, our handsome Mark Gordon in 'Voltes V: Legacy'
Radson Flores is quickly becoming one of the fan favorites in "Voltes V: Legacy."
The Sparkle actor has been receiving praises for his portrayal of the handsome but brooding Mark Gordon, the second in command of the Voltes V team.
Mark pilots the Volt Bomber, the machine that becomes the shoulders of the Voltes V robot. He is also an excellent horse rider, so Radson had to take horseback riding lessons to prepare for the role.
Here are some things you need to know about Radson, an alumnus of Starstruck Season 7.
1. He is a cat person
Radson is a fur parent to a lovely gray cat named Nikola.
He even takes the cute feline on dates and adorably cuddles with her as a certified cat dad.
"Milktea caturdate with my little hellspawn. (i love him very much despite the caption)," he wrote on Instagram.
Of course, it makes perfect sense that the grumpy Mark Gordon likes cats!
2. He is a Potterhead
Radson is a certified "Harry Potter" fan. He previously dressed in Slytherin robes and did his best impression of Draco Malfoy.
"Outta my way, filthy muggle," he wrote on Instagram.
He also cosplayed Harry Potter himself in his Gryffindor robes, complete with a wand and the lightning scar on the forehead.
3. He's into gaming
Raphael Landicho, who plays Little Jon in "Voltes V: Legacy," said he often plays games with Radson.
The 24-year-old actor likes playing Valorant, a popular first-person shooter video game.
He occasionally posts videos of his gaming sessions on TikTok and Instagram, complete with a face camera showing his gamer mode on.
4. He likes anime
Radson is a certified geek—he also likes anime!
During the Sparkle Spell Halloween party last year, he dressed up as Loid Forger, one of the main characters of the hit anime "Spy X Family."
He also previously posted about popular isekai series "Sword Art Online" on his Instagram account.
5. He is the first and only choice of Direk Mark Reyes to play Mark Gordon
When "Voltes V: Legacy" premiered on television, Radson reflected on the butterfly effect and how a series of little events led him to the biggest break of his young career.
On Instagram, he shared how nervous he was during the auditions for the series, but he was comforted by the words of a friend and eventually made it.
Direk Mark Reyes then commented: "From day one. You were always my Mark Gordon. No one else."
Catch more of Radson on "Voltes V: Legacy," which airs weekdays on GMA Telebabad at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras." The series is also livestreamed on GMA Network's YouTube channel and at GMANetwork.com/KapusoStream.
