He is the husband of Mariel Rodriguez-Padilla.Padilla has already been active on the silver screen during the '80s, mostly being on films produced by RCP Productions. It was during the '90s though when he started to be prominent on show business through his films with Sharon Cuneta (Maging Sino Ka Man) and Vina Morales (Ang Utol Kong Hoodlum).During the 2000s, Padilla ventured on to the small screen and acted on TV series in ABS-CBN, then on GMA, until returning back to ABS-CBN during the 2010s.

But, he has proven that he is a versatile actor as he also acted in comedy, thriller, horror and drama films/TV series. He has won two best actors plum during the 2013 Metro Manila Film Festival and 2014 GMMSF Box-Office Entertainment Awards for his lead role in 10,000 Hours (Joyce Bernal, 2013), a film about a Philippine senator forced to go on the run.Also, he has a recurring stint as a judge in Pilipinas Got Talent, a Philippine adaption to the British Got Talent series wherein judges, like him, are searching for the most unique and talented act in the Philippines.
