A breakthrough role on the soap opera Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay (2002–2003), where he first started working with actress and frequent co-star Bea Alonzo, followed his starring role in the television drama Tabing Ilog (1999–2003), which he appeared in as a teenager.

His 2015 film A Second Chance grossed over ₱556 million which makes it one of the highest grossing Philippine films in history.
John Lloyd Espidol Cruz is the youngest child of Luisito Llora and Aida Espidol Cruz. He was known by the nickname "Idan" among his family and some close friends. Cruz finished his grade school at Marikina Catholic School in 1996. He was later discovered by a talent scout in a mall while there with some friends to see the film Magic Temple. Due to his father's failing marble business, Cruz decided to enter showbiz to help his family recover from financial problems. He first appeared in GMA Public Affairs' reenactment legal talk show Compañero y Compañera, followed by the crime and investigative series Calvento Files. This was followed by several guest appearances and shows. At age 14, Cruz became a member of ABS-CBN's Star Magic, where he became an alumnus of Batch 5. He was also a member of the then-teen trio called Koolits with Baron Geisler and Marc Solis.
Since he started his showbiz career in 1996, he was a contract talent for ABS-CBN.
In 1998, he played Jojo in Sa Sandaling Kailangan Mo Ako, a short-lived weekly miniseries.
In 1999, Cruz played the role of Rovic in the teen drama Tabing Ilog, alongside Kaye Abad, which lasted for more than four years. His breakthrough role came in 2002 by portraying the character of Yuri in Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay, where he is paired with Bea Alonzo. He was later cast in It Might Be You and Ikaw ang Lahat sa Akin.
In 2006, Cruz was cast in the highly successful soap opera Maging Sino Ka Man along with Bea Alonzo, Anne Curtis and Sam Milby. In early 2007, he began endorsing Unilab's medication Paracetamol (Biogesic). In 2009, he made another collaboration with Bea Alonzo and played the male protagonist Armando in I Love Betty La Fea, a Philippine adaptation of the Colombian telenovela Yo Soy Betty La Fea. In 2010, Cruz was paired with Angel Locsin in the critically acclaimed dark fantasy series Imortal, a sequel of the original series Lobo.
