Biography

He was born in 1973 in Japan. Raised in San Jose, California, Rovilson attended film school, fell in love with Asian Cinema and moved to Manila in 1999. Not finding any openings for directors, he suddenly found himself a travel show host for Lakbay TV.

He hosted Gameplan on Studio 23 and works an editor for Maxim Philippines. Together with Marc Nelson, he also hosted several television shows, including The Duke on AXN Asia, Dare Duo on QTV 11, and currently Asia's Got Talent, also on AXN Asia.

The Amazing Race Asia 2

Fernandez and his "best buddy" Marc Nelson are most noted for competing in the AXN reality show, The Amazing Race Asia 2. They hold the record for the most consecutive leg placing, finishing 1st from leg 2 to leg 8 and leg 11.

They finished in 3rd Place in Singapore, after Rovilson faltered at the final task, which is a roadblock, despite being the first to commence the task. It involves arranging of flags of the countries they had visited.
