Mon Confiado is undoubtedly one of the most prolific character actors we have today.
The 52-year-old actor has been in the industry since 1992 and has never stopped working both in TV and the movies.

His résumé includes the films Deathrow, Aishite Imasu 1941: Mahal Kita, Bonifacio: Ang Unang Pangulo, Heneral Luna, and Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral, among many others.
