In 2013, he starred as Rafael de Lara in the daytime television series Dugong Buhay[15] for which he won a PMPC Star Awards for Best Single Performance by an Actor. He then went on to star in the Korean adaptation, Pure Love as Raymond de la Cruz/Ramon Esguerra. The following year, he was given his biggest role to date as the main antagonist Joaquin Tuazon on FPJ's Ang Probinsyano.

He continued to have various notable roles in 2019 for which he received many accolades.
