Early life
Raised in Tondo, Manila, Gonzales may be best known for his portrayals of former President Ferdinand Marcos in two biographical films in the 1960s: Iginuhit ng Tadhana ("Marked by Fate", 1965), a political propaganda film; and a dramatic film, Pinagbuklod ng Langit ("Heaven was Gathered", 1969).[1] Actress Gloria Romero starred opposite him as Imelda Marcos in both films. Gonzales and Romero starred in numerous other films together as well.[2] They first worked together on the 1955 film, Despatsadora.[3]
In December 2010, Gonzales received a star of the Eastwood Walk of Fame, which marked his last public appearance.[2]

Gonzales died of complications from pneumonia and heart problems at Makati Medical Center on the night of 15 March 2012, at the age of 83.[1][2] He was survived by his wife, Vina Concepción, and their three children.[1] His funeral and burial were held at Santuário de San Antonio in Forbes Park, Makati.[1][2]
