Coco Martin is now commonly known as Ramon, the third hunk in the hit tv series 'Tayong Dalawa' on ABS-CBN. He is also dubbed 'The Indie Prince of Philippine Independent Cinema' because of his numerous critically acclaimed roles in award-winning independent films.
He started out in showbiz as one of the members of Star Circle Batch 9, but his career didn’t really take off as he decided to finish his studies.
He has appeared in several TV commercials (i.e., BPI, Globe, Smart) before breaking into showbiz with his debut film 'Masahista' (Masseur) which won him the Young Critics Circle Best Actor Award in 2006. He also starred in 'Kaleldo' (Summer Heat) in 2006.
Early in 2007, Coco became an exclusive artist of GMA Network, and appeared in several GMA TV shows starting with Daisy Siete Season 15. He is also a member of the boy-group The Studs. He was also seen in the independent gay-oriented film 'Daybreak' with Paolo Rivero.
In 2008, he returned to ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation as an exclusive artist and became a prominent celebrity appearing in major TV drama series. Currently, he is part of the cast of the primetime drama series Tayong Dalawa (The Two of Us) with Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson and Jake Cuenca where he portray as the main antagonist.
He has a daughter with his co-star in the movie 'Masahista', Katherine Luna.
On the controversial side, an uncut version of 'Serbis' has been circulating in the Web featuring the very controversial blow job of Kristoffer King and Coco Martin's frontal exposure. Both scenes have been deleted in the local release but were included in the international release of 'Serbis' which found it's way back home through the internet.
Coco Martin is slated to play Antonio 'Tonyong Bayawak' Tuason in the third installment of 'Agimat: Ang Mga Alamat ni Ramon Revilla presents Tonyong Bayawak'.
He is now recuperating from wounds he got while shooting an action sequence in 'Tayong Dalawa'.
