He joined NSND (People's Artist) Hồng Vân's Phú Nhuận Drama Theatre after an acting test, landed his first lead role as Nhân Lì in the play Ngõ tình, and was at one point responsible for recruiting actors for the theatre.

He has continued to return to the Hồng Vân stage, for example as Bằng in Châu về hợp phố, staged in 2018 for the 50th anniversary of the 1968 Tết Mậu Thân offensive.

In film he directed Già gân, mỹ nhân và găng tơ, Sứ mệnh trái tim, Siêu sao siêu ngố, Trạng Quỳnh, Anh thầy ngôi sao, Người cần quên phải nhớ and Trùm Sò, and has acted in many films including Tiệc trăng máu.

Babyface Entertainment, a Vietnam casting agency since 2009, helps brands, agencies and production houses book Đức Thịnh for commercials, TVCs, key-visual shoots, events and KOL campaigns, working through the artist’s management to confirm availability and fees.
