Career

He started in showbusiness at age of 5 doing bit roles. His mother refused to use his father's influence in the industry to get in so she trained him herself and his other two siblings to act and regularly brings them to auditions. He has been in the industry since 1990 and has done a variety of roles. Despite the popular belief that he was a member of 1992 variety/gag show Ang TV, he was not.

Following the closure of ABS-CBN Channel 2 on May 5, 2020, Janus returned to GMA Channel 7 for his comeback kapuso project after his last GMA 7 show was a youth oriented drama series Hanggang Kailan in 2004, and also his 1st sitcom entitled Happy Together with fellow matinee idol and actor John Lloyd Cruz, former Goin Bulilit actors Miles Ocampo & Vito Quizon, former Dick & Carmi Host Carmi Martin, former PBB Housemate Jayson Gainza, former Your Face Sounds Familiar Philippines Contestant Eric Nicholas, model & comedian Ashley Rivera, actress Jenzel Angeles, former Kalokalike Contestant Wally Waley, and former Banana Split cast member comedian host Kuya Jobert Austria.
