Elijah Canlas gets dream role in 'Keys to the Heart'

It's no surprise to hear veteran actors fully-immersing themselves into a character they're portraying. But, to find out that Elijah Canlas — a young actor at 23 years old, who started acting less than a decade ago — is already going beyond his mandate to give justification to a special character is nothing short of amazing.

Canlas' latest role is that of Jayjay in the Filipino adaptation of "Keys to the Heart." Now streaming on Netflix, he plays an autistic pianist with whom troubled and washed-up boxer Joma (Zanjoe Marudo) reconnects with.
