Regarded as the "King of Romance-Drama" and the "Philippines' Original Heartthrob", he has received numerous local and international accolades throughout his career, including Star Awards, Maria Clara Awards, and a FAMAS Award. He debuted in entertainment using his real name Ariel Muhlach at age 7 when he appeared in the films May Isang Tsuper ng Taksi (1975) and Babaing Hiwalay Sa Asawa (1976), but he only became well known (under his new screen name "Aga Muhlach") with the success of the coming-of-age film Bagets (1984), after which he became a matinée idol. His other popular film roles include Bakit Labis Kitang Mahal (1992), Sa Aking mga Kamay (1996), Nag-iisang Bituin and Basta't Kasama Kita (1995) and Bayarang Puso (1996) before becoming a romantic male lead in the late 1990s and 2000s as well as in In the Name of Love (2011) and First Love (2018).
