Career

[edit]

Born Luis C. Pagalilauan at Cagayan Valley, he was 17 years old when he was persuaded by director Joey Gosiengfiao to join show business. He was formally introduced as a supporting actor in Zoom, Zoom, Superman!, starring Ariel Ureta in 1973. He also appeared in Sunugin Ang Samar (1974), Isang Gabi, Tatlong Babae! (1974), May Isang Tsuper Ng Taksi (1975) Ang Boyfriend Kong Baduy (1976) and Divino (1976). He played the lead role as a priest in Pagsambang Bayan (1977).

He was also in the cast of National Artist Ishmael Bernal's 1980 classic Manila By Night, the 1983 heavy drama Broken Marriage and the 1986 melodrama The Graduates. He worked with Lino Brocka in the 1977 Metro Manila Film Festival entry Inay playing one of Alicia Vergel's children. In 1985, he did the Peque Gallaga opus Scorpio Nights, which tells the story of a college student (played by Daniel Fernando) who had an affair with an unfaithful wife (Anna Marie Gutierrez). This wife is married to a night-shift security guard (played by Ojeda). He starred in Dingding Lang Ang Pagitan (1986) with Maria Isabel Lopez.

He appeared in the Aubrey Miles horror-flick Sanib in 2003, and starred with Vilma Santos in Dekada '70 (2002) and Susan Roces in Mano Po 2: My Home (2003).

He also appeared in more than 115 movies and television shows.
