At the age of four, de Guzman made his feature film debut in Maryo J. de los Reyes' Saan Darating ang Umaga?

Additionally, he was named the Best Child Performer for the comedy film Teng Teng de Sarapen at the Metro Manila Film Festival in 1983.[1]
In 1989, de Guzman joined the youth-oriented program That's Entertainment and became a regular member ever since, before the show ended seven years later. He guested in one of the episodes of Homeboy with other former child stars RR Herrera and Chuckie Dreyfus.[2]
In 2014, de Guzman returned from his nearly two-decade showbiz absence to star in the GMA evening soap series My BFF, portraying the best friend and sidekick of Janno Gibbs' character.[3]
