John Wayne Sace (born May 9, 1989) is a Filipino character actor and dancer. He first rose to prominence from being a former child actor to a teen idol.

Life and career[edit]

Sace was a member of ABS-CBN network's circle of homegrown talents called Star Magic. He started off as a child actor and later became a member of the defunct ASAP boy dance group AnimE along with Rayver Cruz, Rodjun Cruz, Mhyco Aquino, Sergio Garcia, Emman Abeleda and Mico Aytona. After an average success of being a teen idol, Sace's career went stiff due to a number of personal issues.

Sace was raised by his grandparents while his immediate family is residing in the United States. Sace was once separated from his non-showbiz wife but later reunited, with whom he has three children.

On October 12, 2016, Sace was injured, while his friend died after a shooting incident which took place in Pasig.[1] Sace and Eric Sabino, his deceased companion, were part of the Pasig city police's drug watch list for their involvement in illegal drugs use.[2][3]

He returned to mainstream acting via FPJ's Ang Probinsyano in 2021.
