Timothy Mark Pimentel Eigenmann in real life. Once in a while, a new face comes along in the entertainment scene that truly catches our attention. The moment we saw Sid Lucero, we knew that he's got it. And after seeing him act in his very first television drama role, there's no doubt that Sid will be the next best young actor of his generation. Sid is being introduced in the much talked about soap opera "Hanggang Kailan," from GMA-7 and Filmex, Inc. where he is pitting talents against some of the country's acting heavyweights like Lorna Tolentino and Christopher de Leon. In the soap, he plays a lost young teenage boy who is searching for love and acceptance while in the process of finding himself. If his face looks familiar, it's because Sid is the son of thespian Mark Gil. The eyebrows, the nose and the piercing look is so very Mark, and from that initial episodes that we've seen, the boy has got the same natural intensity and passion like his dad. We learned that his manager Ricky Gallardo of The Talent Factory was
responsible in choosing his screen name. Sid Lucero is the name of the character Mark Gil played in the award-winning Mike de Leon film, "Batch 81," where Mark was elevated to lead status, and where he met and fell in love with Sid's mother, the former fashion model and actress Bing Pimentel.

Sid, together with the other young cast of the soap, had to undergo intensive training in proper acting techniques with workshop director Peque Gallaga before facing the cameras. A quick learner, he says that from the time he started taping, he learned a lot in terms of motivation, delivery and focus, with the guidance of his directors Joey Reyes and Mark Reyes. He won Breakthrough Performance by an Actor for Donsol from 2007 Golden Screen Awards and Best actor from Cinema One Film Festival for Tambolista. Sid Lucero won Best Actor award in the 49-year history of the November 14-23, 2008 Thessaloniki International Film Festival in Greece, regarding film Selda. This year he got Best Supporting Actor nominations from URIAN for Tambolista and won Best actor from Manunuri for Selda. Sid is under Talent Factory management headed by Ricky Gallardo
