He was part of a male group dubbed as "The Hunks[1]" together with Piolo Pascual, Jericho Rosales, Diether Ocampo, and Bernard Palanca.
During his tenure as part of the Hunks, he has been a primetime actor when he co-starred with Claudine Barretto in the hit teleserye Sa Dulo ng Walang Hanggan which ran from 2001 to 2003.
After an almost two-year hiatus from acting, Agassi returned on television via ABS-CBN's Agua Bendita in 2010 where he played as one of the primary antagonists.
[2] Given the moniker "The Amir of (Philippine) Rap", Agassi was met with criticism by the likes of veteran rappers Loonie, D-Coy of Madd Poets and Krazykyle of Rapskallion.
He even filed a case against D-Coy and Krazykyle in 2006 and demanded the pulling of copies of the album United Freestyle v.2 where the lyrics of songs "Right Now" (D-Coy) and "No Album Got Skills" (Krazykyle) contain the lines "Ang dapat sa'yo mag-disappear tulad ng showbiz na si Amir" and "I destroy emcees more than your eyes can see, don't battle me I'll make you look like Carlos Agassi" respectively.
