Actor Alfredo Nicdao and daughter actress/director Charlotte Nicdao are working together on the project Asian Male, 60's, LEAD.

When veteran Filipino-Australian actor Alfredo Nicdao shared a story idea with his daughter Charlotte, an accomplished actor herself, he never imagined it would turn into a film they would create together.


KEY POINTS
  • Taking the helm as director, his daughter Charlotte guided the project while Alfredo took on the lead role.
  • "ASIAN MALE, 60s, LEAD" is a dark comedy inspired by Alfred’s decades-long career and the challenges faced by older actors of colour.
  • This rare father and daughter collaboration highlights not only their shared artistry but also the importance of representation and storytelling across generations.

It’s never been my intention to influence my daughter into film, but I realised I did in a way. I listened to many of her interviews abroad, and she often said that I had a big impact on her. She watched me over the years, as a little girl, going to auditions, and our whole family would watch my shows on TV. She told herself, ‘If my father can do it, surely I can do it too.'
