Among the memorable non-villain roles he portrayed were in Walang Matigas na Tinapay sa Mainit na Kape, where his brother Romy and Dindo Arroyo played the main villains of the film, and Ang Dalubhasa (without his moustache). Other non-villain appearances include: Bobocop is a comedy film where he plays the role as a police officer which starring Joey Marquez with Max Alvarado as the main villain; Eagle Squad, where he played a dedicated and good police officer alongside Robin Padilla, Jinggoy Estrada, Edu Manzano, Ricky Davao, and Monsour del Rosario with Jaime Fabregas as the main antagonist; He portrayed his role as an NBI informer in Doring Dorobo, NBI which starring Eddie Garcia with Eddie Gutierrez as the corrupt police chief superintendent; Squala, as the father of the character of his son Joko with John Regala and Dick Israel portraying the villains; Bayadra Brothers (Bayadra is a pun of Viagra), alongside Jimmy Santos and Berting Labra. He plays the role of Ramon, an office manager in the comedy film Gawa Na Ang Bala Para Sa Akin which starred Vic Sotto and Panchito Alba with Ruel Vernal as the main antagonist. Estudyante Blues, also as the father of the character of his son Joko, and Pera O Bayong as Don Juanito, starring Willie Revillame, John Estrada and Randy Santiago with Mark Gil as the right-hand man of his character and the main antagonist of that film.

He also appeared in villain roles in comedy films as the main antagonist and also in supporting/non-villain roles that stars mostly Dolphy, Redford White, Vic Sotto, Joey Marquez, Herbert Bautista, Joey De Leon, Jimmy Santos and the late actors Chiquito, Babalu, Panchito and Rene Requiestas.

He also gained popularity in the 1990s where he played title roles in two comedy films: Daddy Goon (touted as his launching film) where he was supported by Herbert Bautista, Manilyn Reynes, Eddie Gutierrez (villain) and child performer Aiza Seguerra; and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly where he shared billing with Gabby Concepcion and comedian Rene Requiestas. He also tried his hand in producing a film in 2002 via Mga Batang Lansangan... Ngayon which starred his son Joko and matinee idol Bobby Andrews.
