Career
2021–present: He's Into Her and Grand Finale Concert
In 2021, Serrano auditioned for He's Into Her just two days before his scheduled flight. Despite a series of buzzer-beating incidents, Serrano's talent and perseverance led to his formal addition to the cast.[2] In February 2022, his role in the series was formally announced.[3] Serrano will be playing the role of Karlie Granada[4], a "fiercely loyal" friend of Kim Gozon (played by Dalia Varde).[5]
Serrano and the cast of He's Into Her headlined a concert called "He's Into Her: All Access, The He's Into Her Grand Finale Concert" at the Araneta Coliseum to celebrate the last episode of the series. The concert was simultaneously streamed online through KTX.ph and iWantTFC worldwide[6][7] showcasing Serrano's skills not only as an actor but also as a performer.
After the success of the "He's Into Her: All Access, The He's Into Her Grand Finale Concert," Serrano returned to Canada to pursue his studies in Creative Advertising. Despite his busy schedule, he continues to share his passion for the arts through his YouTube channel and social media accounts, inspiring his followers to pursue their own creative dreams.
