Career

Renz Fernandez began his professional acting career in 2011 when he joined TV5’s drama series Glamorosa and Bagets: Just Got Lucky. He quickly moved to ABS-CBN and gained recognition for supporting roles in high-rating teleseryes such as Angelito: Batang Ama (2011), Kahit Konting Pagtingin (2013), and the 2014 remake of Dyesebel.

His most prominent break came in 2016 with the afternoon drama series Doble Kara, where he played the complex character Alex Acosta opposite Julia Montes. He continued to appear in popular primetime shows such as FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano (2017–2019), A Soldier’s Heart (2020), and the 2022 series Flower of Evil.

On the big screen, he has appeared in films such as Moron 5.2: The Transformation (2014) and the indie drama T.P.O. (2016).

While acting remains his main profession, Renz has also ventured into business, co-owning a fitness gym and a real-estate development company with his wife.

He has kept a relatively modest showbiz profile, rarely doing controversial projects and focusing instead on family-oriented dramas. In recent years he has taken on mature supporting roles and has expressed interest in eventually moving into production.

Renz Fernandez continues to be a steady presence in Philippine television, respected for his professionalism and grounded personality.

Though he will always be linked to his legendary parents, he has carved his own niche as a reliable character actor and devoted family man, earning admiration for choosing substance over flashy stardom.
