In 2010, Roque debuted onscreen in the soap opera Habang May Buhay playing Mark. He later took his first major role in the fantasy-drama series, Aryana in 2012.[3] He played the character Hubert, wherein he co-starred and was paired with Ella Cruz.

While taping the series, he did several guesting roles including Bandila[4] and in the morning talk show Kris TV in which he spoke about issues relating to Kathryn Bernardo.[3][5][6]

After Aryana ended in January 2013, he signed his second major role in the noontime drama series May Isang Pangarap where he played the arrogant Alvin.[3][7] He was paired with Erin Ocampo, an up-and-coming female actress.[7]

In June 2013, Roque had his movie debut in the film Pagpag, an MMFF entry for 2013. He co-starred with Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo.[8]

On December 25, 2016, Roque starred as Fabian in a horror-thriller film entitled Seklusyon, which was an entry to the 2016 Metro Manila Film Festival. The film received a total of 8 awards; the highest number awarded to a film in the competition.
