While in college, Muñoz started working as a commercial model and appeared in local TV ads including Del Monte and Coca-Cola.[4]
In 1996, he joined ABS-CBN's Talent Center and was one of the new actors introduced under Star Circle Batch 6.[5]
Muñoz played the titular character of the "Hello, Billy" advertising campaign by PLDT.[6] The series followed the romance of Billy and Gracia in the United States, revealed through overseas telephone conversations with his nosey mother in the Philippines, and the couple's eventual homecoming and marriage.[7] The advertising campaign, which later expanded to radio and print, ran between 2000 and 2001.[2][8]
Muñoz, together with then girlfriend Enid "Meg" Reyes, older brother Leandro and Leandro's daughter Francesca, moved to the United States in 2003 after the death of their father.[9] He married Reyes in a civil wedding in California on Valentine's Day the following year—the couple first met at the set of a Wansapanataym episode[2]—together they have 3 sons.
