Michael Benedict P. Rodriguez (November 5, 1962 – February 14, 1997)[1] was a Filipino actor and model. He got his start in show business when he was discovered by the filmmaker, a National Artist for Film,[2] Lino Brocka,[3][4] who cast him in a Close Up commercial in 1981. Often referred to as the "Filipino Christopher Reeve", he was most famous for his roles on the television sitcom Palibhasa Lalake[5][6] and opposite Sharon Cuneta in the 1983 movie "To Love Again". He was also known for having appeared with Snooky Serna in the 1984 film Experience in which he played the actor whose character protected Snooky from a person stalking her. Experience was directed by no other than Lino Brocka,[7] and written for the screen by another pillar of Philippine film, journalism, and literature, Pete Lacaba.[8]
Notably, he starred as the Filipino-Spanish Ilustrado, Alfonsito, in the 1985 award-winning and daring period film Virgin Forest[9]—directed by the celebrated and multi-awarded Filipino filmmaker, Peque Gallaga,[10][11] and which musical score[12] was provided by another film icon, Jaime Fabregas.[13] Seven years later, Miguel and Peque will have worked again in the movie, Adventures of Gary Leon and Kuting.[14][15]
He eventually became an action film star, appearing in Bir Mammud: Alyas Boy Muslim (1989), Hindi Kita Iiwanang Buhay: Kapitan Paile (1990) and Hanggang Kailan Ka Papatay (1990).
He was nominated three times—1995, 1989, and 1986 respectively as Best Supporting Actor in the Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences Awards (also known as the FAMAS Awards) for the films The Elsa Castillo Story (1994), Ibulong Mo sa Diyos (1988), and Partida (1985). He won the award in 1989 for playing the role of Mario Umali—a dance choreographer who raped the main protagonist, Monica Quijano—in Ibulong Mo sa Diyos.
On June 26, 1986, Rodriguez and Edu Manzano hosted Bb. Pilipinas 1986 Grand Coronation Night, held at the Araneta Coliseum. Ms. Chiqui Hollman-Yulo anchored the event.[16]
He retired from acting in 1996 after the release of Huwag Mong Isuko ang Laban, the last film he worked on in 1995.
Rodriguez died from pancreatitis on 14 February 1997[17] at the age of 34.[18][19][20]
