He played Daniel the romantic interest of Isabelle Abiera's character in Abt Ur Luv Ur Lyf 2—his first TV role in 15 years after his television debut in Ang TV.

When Abt Ur Luv Ur Lyf 2 ended in 2008, he then went to appear in 2 other seasons of Star Magic Presents namely: Astigs in Haay...skul Lyf and Star Magic Presents: Astigs in Luvin' Lyf.
