I am the son of a hacendero from Gapan, Nueva Ecija and practicing pre-med. One day, I decided to watch the shooting of a friend's film right in my home. From then on, I was discovered by Director Susana C. De Guzman and Nemesio B. Caravana as they encouraged me to join showbiz.My first movie was Amor-Mio or My Love under LVN. Later on, I was paired with Nida Blanca in "Bahala Na". When LVN discontinued making films, I transferred to Sampaguita pictures where I made my debut with Ms. Gloria Romero in "Tugtuging Bukid".
In the 1980's I made a comeback with my good old friend Nida Blanca as we played for two movies with Ms. Sharon Cuneta's Forgive and Forget, and Ms. Maricel Soriano's Saan Darating ang umaga.
I remained active in films then until my time came in 2004, wherein I was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
FYI: I was also known as the "Fred Astaire of the Philippines". Who Am I? :)
