He died in Los Angeles of hepatitis, illness he was infected with while we worked as a musician in New York.

He married two other famous actresses Elisa Christy and María Félix and dated Gloria Marín for more than ten years. He also filmed movies with these three actresses.

He started singing on the radio in 1931 as an opera singer in Mexico City. In 1936 he signed with NBC for a show with Cuban and mexican musicians. He returned to Mexico in 1937 to act in the film La madrina del diablo (The Devil's Godmother) and because of the success of the film he was able to sign for several more the next three years. In 1938 he starred in La Valentina with Elisa Christy and then on Juntos pero no revueltos (United But Not Mixed).

After working in Havana and Hollywood he was called to act in ¡Ay Jalisco, no te rajes! (Jalisco, Don't Backslide) which made him an international star.

He complemented his film career with music singing with the trio Los Tres Calaveras and touring through Latin America.
