Jake has come a long way since he started his career in the entertainment industry. He is one of the most in-demand actors of his generation. Over the years, he was able to show his versatility in acting with the different characters he portrayed.
Jake has recently ventured into theater also which broaden his platform when it comes to showcasing his acting caliber.
In a recent interview, based on the article in Pilipino Star Ngayon, he highlighted the importance of loving and being dedicated to his craft.
“So even at the highest of high winning awards or stuff like this. The next day, what grounds you is your dedication and your commitment to work,” he said.
Jake also said that he does not mind doing supporting roles and this is not an excuse not to bring his A-game. For him, the smaller the role is, the more he needs to make it shine and create that impact.

However, he also acknowledged the fact that time may come when he is no longer needed or if he is already “laos.” Previously, he already expressed that he is not afraid to be a has-been.
“You always have to constantly show them something new. Show them how good you really are. Just as long as ABS-CBN needs me, I’m here. But the day na feeling ko na hindi na nila ako kailangan, I would gracefully exit. Gracefully bow out and exit myself,” Jake Cuenca shared.
