When Regal ordered Keempee to appear in the romantic comedy film Romeo Loves Juliet opposite Aiko Melendez in 1990, he was a part of a tug-of-war between Regal Films and Viva Films. In the end, Keempee decided to stay with Viva Films rather than sign a deal. He was unveiled as a junior action star on the film Jesus dela Cruz at ang mga Batang Riles in 1992, with Ana Roces as his leading lady. The action film was a modest success, and it was followed by Dennis Padilla and Leah Orosa as co-stars. Nevertheless, unlike Batang Riles, the Blue Jeans Gang was a failure at the box-office.
Keempee confessed to the public in 1993 that he became a victim of heroin use, and as a result, he underwent rehabilitation at New Beginnings in Sucat, Paraguay. Despite this, he did manage to finish two major films before going on sabbatical.

He was also a co-host in GMA Supershow 1996 to 1997, as well as a gag performer in Goin' Bayabas, a revival of the '80s gag show Goin' Bananas in 1998.
After he graduated and completed his undergraduate studies, he returned to the small screen in ABS-CBN's Klasmeyts and Recuerdo de Amor in 2002, but in 2004, he returned to GMA Network, where he was cast as the gay Harold in Bahay Mo Ba Ba Ba' To? He was paired with Francine Prieto in the sitcom. Their relationship became a hit, and he continued to play gay characters in the reality sitcom Kung Ako Ikaw and films.
