Short Biography
Renowned for portraying his witty, stereotypical norteño character named "Piporro" in the Pedro Infante film Little Love of My Life (1952), Eulalio González quickly became one of the box-office stars of the 1960s and the best norteño comedian ever. Born and raised in northern Mexico, González was the son of customs agent Pablo González Barrera and Elvira Ramírez. During his youth he studied medicine and accounting, though he never sought these professions. His first break came when he working as a radio announcer and popular film actor-singer Pedro Infante invited him to participate in the radio-novela "Martín Corona". The success of the radio-novela spawned a film starring Infante and Sara Montiel with González reprising his role as the comic norteño sidekick. It would not be until the early 1960s when González's popularity grew in both film and music, starring as the leading man in the films The Ship of Monsters (1960), Ruletero a toda marcha (1962), El rey del tomate (1963), El bracero del año (1964), La Valentina (1966), Qué hombre tan sin embargo (1967), and El pistolero desconocido (1967). His quick and inventive humor can be appreciated today in his films, screenplays, and songs.
