His first job was in 2005, during Faculty of Sport, in Kenvelo stores, as sales assistant. It lasted only three months, because Alin already decided to start preparing for admission to UNATC, Faculty of Acting, Bucharest. The moment he began to think about a career in acting was in high school, he was enrolled at Allure Models, where he had some courses of theater. The first TV appearance was in 2006, he was a student at the School of Acting, when he won a role in a commercial for Petrom, after being contacted by CDF casting agency, then called Rodeo.During college, he played in several plays, such as " Si noi si ea " or " D'ale carnavalului", directed by Alexander Jitea.

The play was interpreted at the Nottara theater in Bucharest and in theaters in Arad, Targoviste, Brasov. It was also stated in the "International Theatre" Festival in Macedonia, where he was very successful. Maria Sarbu, National Journal, states that "(...) some of them will become celebrities, among them: Liviu Romanescu, Daniel Hara, Dragos Dumitru, Armand Utma / Cornelius Ulici Valentin Paraschivu, Alin Popa, Mihai Muntenia / Andrei Seusan ". Monica Andronescu, Adevarul News, says" Biloxy Blues " manages two important things. On the one hand, to highlight the actors (...) and, on the other hand, to unravel the story to the the public in a form that they can feel the full taste ." Immediately afterwards received two roles in feature films" Portrait of the Fighter as a Young Man" directed by Tica Popescu and" Repossessed" directed by Jay Lender and Micah Wright.One of his mentors was the teacher and actor Mircea Rusu, who taught that in acting " You must be available at any time to do what you are asked."In terms of acting preferences, Alin said that the balance tipped in favor of the film rather than theater, because from his point of view "film acting helps me more in the idea of building a role and the roles in which I feel best are negative." The Acting talent inherited from his mother, and in 2014 they played together in a commercial for Vodafone. The biggest challenge was the interpretation of the role in "THEY're Watching" (TVZ: Repossessed-original title) when his character was killed in a forest with an ax lodged in his chest.In 2011 he starred in two short films selected at Cannes 2012 "Hello Kitty" and "Kiddo", both directed by Millo Simulov.
