Nostalgia rush

“Cedie, Ang Munting Prinsipe” revolves around the story of a young boy who discovers that he is the one and only heir to a British earldom. This then called him to leave the United States to live with his grandfather, The Earl of Dorincourt. 

The Filipino film adaptation is based on the Japanese anime series “Little Lord Fauntleroy”.

A year after the film was released, the then 10-year-old Tom Taus was hailed as one of the nominees for Best Child Actor at the 1997 FAMAS Awards. 

What came before “Cedie” reunion

Taus left the country at 13 to pursue his career as a DJ in the United States. His interest in acting was then replaced by his newfound inclination after an encounter with a DJ. Antoinette Taus, Taus’ sister, was a friend of the DJ’s.

At 25, Taus was known to most parts of Los Angeles as “DJ Tommy T.”

As for Valdez, he stayed in the Philippines to continue his acting career. He starred in various local films and series, including “Los Bastardos,” 2 Good 2 Be True”, and “Seven Sundays.”
