Starting acting in 1982 with the film Senja Merah, he jumped up after starring Gila-Gila Remaja in 1986 as Azroy. Directed by his father, the late Hussein Abu Hassan, he made a huge impact for Faizal to prove his family's artistic blood.{{fact|date=April 2021}}

After that, he gained a lot of attention and starred in several films that featured him playing the protagonist. After almost three years of not appearing in a movie, he finally got the offer to bring the antagonist through Leftenan Adnan.
