Perspective
According to George Vail Kabristante, a writer for The Manila Times, Polintan's film career took off in 1988 when his mentor Carlo Finioni cast him in the drama film Hamunin ang Bukas.[1] Early in his career, he used the screen name "Niño Espedilla" and appeared in films such as Sabik sa Halik, Machete II, Halimuyak ng Babae, and Kirot.[2]
He starred in action movies, including roles in Cesar Climaco, Mison, and Ka Hector.[citation needed] Moreover, Versoza portrayed historical figures in several films, including José Rizal (1998), in which he played Andres Bonifacio, and Sisa, where he portrayed Jose Rizal / Pepe.[citation needed] His television credits include roles such as Domingo in Mula sa Puso, Camilo San Carlos in It Might Be You, and Apo Abukay Sugo.
Furthermore, Versoza has made guest appearances on various shows on ABS-CBN and the GMA Network, including Bubble Gang, Maalaala Mo Kaya, Hokus Pokus, and Magpakailanman.[citation needed] In 2019, he portrayed policeman Ulysses Balthazar in the Sandugo series and the villainous drug dealer Lazaro Enriquez in the FPJ's Ang Probinsyano series. Both of them were aired on ABS-CBN.[3][4]
In early 2016, he began using the moniker "Cupcake",[5] a nickname given to him by his best friend, Ai-Ai delas Alas.[citation needed]
