Ronald Allan Kelley Poe〔http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0688093/bio〕 (August 20, 1939 – December 14, 2004), better known as Fernando Poe, Jr. and colloquially known as FPJ and Da King, was a Filipino actor. During the latter part of his career, Poe was defeated by then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in the 2004 Philippine presidential elections. His long career as an action film star earned him the nickname "King of Philippine Movies" (often shortened to ''Da King''). Poe was posthumously declared a National Artist of the Philippines for Film on May 23, 2006 by President Macapagal-Arroyo. The award was confirmed by President Benigno Aquino III on July 20, 2012, and was presented to his family on August 16. ==Early life== Ronald Allan K. Poe was the son of Filipino actor Allan Fernando Poe y Reyes (Fernando Poe, Sr.) and Elizabeth "Bessie" Kelley, an American. He was born in Manila. His parents were not yet legally married when he was born on August 20, 1939, although his parents were later married in 1940. His political opponents tried to derail his bid for the 2004 Philippine presidency when they sought to disqualify him as an illegitimate son of a non-Filipino mother. He was the second among six siblings and it was his brother Andy (Fernando II) who was really named Fernando Poe, Jr. which FPJ later adopted, to bank on the popularity of his father who was a top actor in his time. Conrad Poe, a Filipino actor is FPJ's half-brother, the illegitimate son of the late Fernando Poe Sr. and actress Patricia Mijares. Pou is the original spelling of the family's surname from his grandfather, playwright Lorenzo Pou, a Catalan migrant from Majorca, Spain, who ventured into mining and business in the Philippines. ==Education== In 1953 Poe finished his primary education at San Beda College. For high school, he went to San Sebastian College. He continued his education at Mapua Institute of Technology and University of the East. His father died from rabies at age 35, leaving the young Poe as the family's breadwinner; to support his family, he dropped out of school. ==Acting career== Poe dropped out of high school to work in the Filipino film industry as a messenger boy, and was given acting roles in subsequent years. Starting as a stuntman for Everlasting Pictures, he was given a starring role in the movie ''Anak ni Palaris'' (''Son of Palaris'') at the age of 14. The movie was not a big hit. In 1957 the movie ''Lo Waist Gang'' made him popular,〔 and the film was such a big hit that low-waist pants became a fad. Known also as ''FPJ'' from his initials, Poe acted in a number of movies which depicted him as the champion of the poor and downtrodden. He also directed nine movies, under the pseudonym Ronwaldo Reyes. ''Reyes'' originated from the surname of his paternal grandmother, Martha. He established FPJ productions in 1961 and later organized other film companies such as D'Lanor, JAFERE, and Rosas Productions. In 1963, he testified against criminal gangs, known as the Big Four, who extorted money from the film industry. In 1965, he shared the lead in ''The Ravagers'' (in the Philippines this is titled "Only the Brave Know Hell"), a film depicting the United States and the Philippines working together against Japanese war time occupation. The film is considered one of the most influential Filipino films. Poe won the most best actor awards at the FAMAS. Among the movies that received awards were ''Mga Alabok ng Lupa'' (1967), ''Asedillo'' (1971), ''Durugin si Totoy Bato'', ''Umpisahan Mo, Tatapusin Ko'' (1983), and ''Muslim Magnum .357'' (1987).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Awards for Fernando Poe Jr. )〕 Among his roles were Flavio in the mythical ''Ang Panday'' series, ''Kahit Konting Pagtingin'', ''Dito sa Pitong Gatang'' and ''Aguila''. His last movie was ''Pakners'' which also stars 9-ball billiards champion Efren "Bata" Reyes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fernando Poe, Jr.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
