Career

[edit]

2000–2012; 2019–2021; 2024–present: Career in ABS-CBN

[edit]

During a vacation with his family in 2000, Rosell's mother found out about the auditions at ABS-CBN. He auditioned and got a TV commercial job for Close-Up toothpaste and signed a contract with Star Magic later that year.

In 2002, Rosell was introduced as one of the leading men of Jolina Magdangal, in Star Cinema's Kung Ikaw ay Isang Panaginip.[6] His big break came in 2004 when he was paired with Claudine Barretto on the ABS-CBN fantaserye Marina. In 2006, he was launched as a member of the all-male group Coverboys with Zanjoe Marudo, Jon Avila, Victor Basa, and Jake Cuenca.[6]

Rossell as Nigel Armada (Temptation of Wife at Santuario de San Pedro Bautista).

In 2007, Rosell won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 30th Gawad Urian Awards for his work in the indie film Rome & Juliet.

He was a part of projects including Rounin, Prinsesa ng Banyera and Maligno. He starred in Status: Single under Viva Films.[6]

Rosell started getting recognition in 2010 when he played Brandon Brazil in the ABS-CBN afternoon drama Midnight Phantom opposite his close friend Denise Laurel.[7] After the success of Midnight Phantom and his team-up with Laurel, ABS-CBN paired them up again in Kristine.[8] The team-up came to an abrupt end when Laurel took a one-year hiatus due to pregnancy, leaving Rosell to be paired up with Jodi Sta. Maria in 100 Days to Heaven.[9]

In 2012, Rosell was reunited with Laurel in another ABS-CBN drama, Dahil sa Pag-ibig.

Rosell returned to ABS-CBN after seven years with GMA Network. His resurgence in the said network was in an Ipaglaban Mo! episode.

2012–2019; 2021–2024: Career in GMA Network

[edit]

In August 2012 his contract with Star Magic expired, and he moved to GMA Network. He starred in Temptation of Wife with Marian Rivera.[10]

Rosell returned to GMA after 2 years for his comeback teleserye, To Have & To Hold.
