Raymundo Serafín Arroyo Batzaveth (Ixcapuzalco, Guerrero, March 15, 1940 - Mexico City, September 24, 1999), known by the stage name of Juan Gallardo, was a Mexican singer and actor. He was the son of Lebanese parents. During his youth he lived in the United States where he worked as a waiter and singer. When he returned to Mexico he worked as a taxi driver and mechanic without abandoning his activity as a singer of vernacular music in serenades and traditional festivals. As a singer of Mexican music he toured in Colombia, Costa Rica, Peru and Brazil. He studied acting at the Andrés Soler Academy. In 1964 he made his debut with Lola Beltrán in the film Cucurrucucú Paloma. During his career as an actor he shared credits with Jacqueline Andere, Jorge Lavat, Rosa Gloria Chagoyán, Sasha Montenegro, Julio Alemán, Valentín Trujillo, Irma Serrano, Jorge Rivero, Andrés García, Sergio Goyri, Mauricio Garcés, Fanny Cano and Tere Velázquez among others. In 1983 he directed El ahorcado and in 1991 he wrote the story of El siila de ruedas. He participated in the telenovela industry. He died of throat cancer in Mexico City on September 24, 1999.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
