Nonong de Andres, popularly known by his screen name Bangkay (lit. 'Corpse'), is a Filipino actor.
Career
A Masbate native, de Andres started his involvement in the entertainment industry as a layout artist for RVQ Productions.[2] which was established by comedian, Dolphy.
De Andres made his debut in acting as an extra in Kisame Street which starred Dolphy, Panchito and Nida Blanca.[2] De Andres was initially hesitant to take up an acting career, stating that he accepted the role just for fun, but eventually committed to it full-time.[1]
He frequently took roles as an extra in horror and comedy films in the 1980s to the 1990s,[2] appearing in more than a hundred films.[1] He often played dead in several films which earned him the nickname "Bangkay". Due to low pay, de Andres decided to leave show business and remain a bachelor for the rest of his life.[2]
After retiring, Bangkay was entrusted to take care of a friend's son in Plaridel, Quezon until his adoptive son went to the United States to study college.[2] Sometime in 2005, he began managing a beach resort owned by the town mayor, watching over the place for at least eight years.[1]
Bangkay returned to acting, and took a role in Forevermore.[2] He and fellow horror film colleague Lilia Cuntapay became known as part of a love team dubbed as "Bangli" due to their roles in the series.[3]
