A night watchmen in the Philippines claims he was just doing his job when he shot and killed an actor on a movie set Saturday night.
Police said Eddie Cuizon, 52, a watchman in Cebu, fatally shot Filipino actor Kirk Abella, 32, who was sporting a mask and a fake gun for a film shoot.
Abella was working on the set of "Going Somewhere," a film by British director Alan Lyddiard. He was riding away on a motorcycle for the closing scene when he was shot.
The Filipino newspaper Diario reports Cuizon, 52, told police he was responding to calls from concerned citizens about armed men on motorcycles. He said he spotted two men on motorcycles and took off after them. The newspaper says Cuizon told police he shot Abella after he brandished his gun, which turned out to be plastic.
Diario reports that armed men on motorcycles have been linked to several recent murders in the country.
Cuizon faces charges of homicide and violation of a gun ban.
He must have been a really good actor. What a shame. I wonder what would that watchman do if he saw Arniold Shwarznegger filming his " Commando".
