He came to prominence as an action star in Philippine cinema during the 1970s up to the 1990s.

Early life and career

Fernandez was born at 8:36 PM on March 3, 1952, at Mary Johnston Hospital in Tondo, Manila. He was the eldest son of dentist and filmmaker Gregorio Fernandez and Paz Padilla, daughter of José Padilla Sr.{{cite news|last=Francisco|first=Butch|title=The Butcher | Merle Fernandez: The first bomba star|url=https://pikapika.ph/pikadaily/the-butcher-merle-fernandez-the-first-bomba-star/the-butcher|access-date=February 22, 2025|work=Pikapika |publisher=Viva Communications|date=February 4, 2024}}{{cite encyclopedia |author=Lena Pareja |editor=Nicanor Tiongson |editor-link=Nicanor Tiongson |encyclopedia=CCP Encyclopedia of Philippine Art |title=Philippine Film|edition=1st |year=1994 |publisher=Cultural Center of the Philippines|volume=VIII |location=Manila |pages= 247 |isbn=971-8546-31-6 }} Both his parents were from Lubao, Pampanga, which he considered his hometown.{{cite web|author=Alejandro & Teresita Camiling|url=http://www-rcf.usc.edu/~camiling/history_lubao.htm|title=The Town of Lubao, Pampanga: Land of the Brave|access-date=March 15, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071223051216/http://www-rcf.usc.edu/~camiling/history_lubao.htm |archive-date=December 23, 2007}} He made his film debut at the age of three, appearing in Luksang Tagumpay (1956), which was directed by his father. He also appeared in another film of his father's, Emily (1960). Fernandez's mother committed suicide in their home in 1957 due to postpartum depression, while one of his brothers also committed suicide out of fear of being punished for his actions by his father.{{cite news|title=The Ferraren Case|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9oJRZbzyBO4C|access-date=February 22, 2025|work=Philippines Free Press|via=Google Books|publisher=Philippines Free Press, Inc.|date=January 2, 1960|page=7|quote=[...] Merle, 20-year-old daughter of Dr. Fernandez [in 1959].}}

Fernandez started his active film career while a student at the University of Santo Tomas, when he was signed to a contract by Sampaguita Pictures in 1970. He was first featured by Sampaguita Pictures in For Your Mama (1970), then paired with Connie Angeles in Sweet Matutina (1970). Fernandez spent the next few years in teenage parts until he made his breakthrough as an action star with Bitayin si... Baby Ama? (1976). His viability as an action star was further enhanced with the box-office success of Ang Leon, ang Tigre at ang Alamid (1979).

Beginning with Baby Ama, a biopic of a well-known Filipino criminal, Fernandez specialized in portraying true-to-life characters. One of his notable action films is Markang Bungo (Skull Mark), a film based on a true story, where he portrayed the well-known Baguio police officer Bobby Ortega, was released in 1992. From this film came a signature line of Fernandez's, "Walang personalan, trabaho lang" ("Strictly business, nothing personal"), which has since been cited as among the most memorable quotes in Philippine cinema by QTV's Ang Pinaka television program.{{cite web|url=http://www.gmanews.tv/story/48092/Ang-Pinakas-most-memorable-movie-lines|title=Ang Pinaka's most memorable movie lines|publisher=GMANews.TV|date=June 25, 2007|access-date=March 15, 2008}} Iligpit si Bobby Ortega: Markang Bungo 2 (Execute Bobby Ortega, Skull Mark 2) is a sequel that was released in 1995.

Aside for portraying a real police officer, he was cast in the lead roles for the biopics of Filipino politicians Alfredo Lim, Vincent Crisologo, and Ping Lacson. In the film Lagalag: The Eddie Fernandez Story, he starred as Eddie Fernandez, a Filipino actor during the 1970s and the father of Pops Fernandez.

With the decline of production of Filipino action films during the 2000s, Fernandez turned to television roles. In the short-lived GMA Network sitcom Da Boy, en Da Girl, he starred opposite Rosanna Roces. He also played as a supporting role in other TV series in GMA like Twin Hearts and Atlantika. He was also the host of the docu-drama Kasangga.

=Awards=

Fernandez has won two FAMAS Best Actor awards for the action films Batuigas... Pasukuin si Waway (Batuigas... Make Waway Surrender) (1984) and Operation: Get Victor Corpus, the Rebel Soldier (1988). In addition to these wins, FAMAS has also nominated Rudy Fernandez an additional 13 times from 1976 to 1998.{{Cite web|url=http://www.freewebs.com/famas_awards|title=The Unofficial Website of the Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences}} He also won two FAP Best Actor awards for Batuigas... and for Birador (1998).

The next year, the Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC) bestowed the 2008 Ulirang Artista Lifetime Achievement Award to Rudy Fernandez, at the 24th PMPC Star Awards for Movies. He was also the recipient of the Film Academy of the Philippines FPJ Lifetime Achievement Award.{{Cite web|url=https://www.asianjournal.com/|title=Asian Journal Media Group—Your News. Your Community.
