Although Janus Del Prado has done several TV projects and films, he has yet to play a lead role. The actor doesn’t mind though since he prefers more offbeat roles. “Ewan ko, hindi naman talaga ako naghahanap ng talagang bida na roles. Kasi masarap yung mga character roles kasi napaglalaruan mo, mag-i-improve ka, kasi ‘pag bida [you get stuck] sa isang role.”
On playing a gay role in the afternoon show Precious Hearts Romances Ang Lalaking Nagmahal Sa Akin, he said that he depends on their director, Wenn Deramas. During the press conference of the said show, Direk Wenn was asked why he casted Janus instead of real gay actors in the showbiz. “Una sa lahat yung mga magagaling natin na bading ampapangit, Chokoleit [for instance], pero magaling,” Direk Wenn joked. “Eh, ang kailangan natin magaling [like] si Janus. Number one, matagal ko na siyang nakasama sa pelikula rin, at alam kong magaling na komedyante. Nagtagumpay naman kami ‘di ba? Tama naman kami dahil ang husay na bading, lovable at maganda tingnan niyo itsura niya, isipin nyo kung si Chokoleit yun.”
Being a straight guy himself, Janus admits that he emulates the styles of respected actors who have also portrayed gay roles. “Si Kuya Roderick Paulate, kasi ang hirap din mag-create ng sarili mong [style] tsaka iniisip ko na lang babae talaga ako.”
