He is best remembered for his roles in the movies Bagets, Ninja Kids, and Kamagong (with Lito Lapid). In fact, Bagets created a cult following among young Filipino movie fans, and has had a strong influence among the modern Filipino youth that still pervades up to this day.

Bonnin comes from a family of well-known showbiz personalities. His uncle, Bernard Bonnin married to Elvira González, were former actors. His cousins are former beauty queen/actress Charlene González (now married to actor Aga Muhlach) and former actor Richard Bonnin.

He has now quit acting and has become a pastor of Hope for the World Christian Church and Missions in America living with his family.
