In 1994, he moved to GMA Network and started as a child actor in the comedy show Kiss Muna, then moved to ABS-CBN in 2002 and became part of their contract talents before becoming a Star Magic talent.
His first lead role was in the 2005 primetime TV series Spirits as Red, with actress Maja Salvador. He played another lead role as Mythos in the 2007 primetime show Rounin.
On June 14, 2018, he left Star Magic, but he remained in Bagani, his final project at ABS-CBN.[5][6] After 18 years, Cruz returned to his home network, GMA Network as he signed a contract on September 6, 2018.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Aside from acting and dancing, he is given a big break in singing and hosting career[15] when he hosted some GMA programs like the defunct variety show Studio 7, and singing competition The Clash along with Julie Anne San Jose.
