He was dubbed the "Tarzan of Java" for his role in Alang-Alang (1939), where he played a man who fought bandits in the jungle with his lover. He starred in several other films with his co-star Hadidjah, forming a popular on-screen couple. He also appeared in films for Action Films, a subsidiary of Java Industrial Film, where he showcased his skills in martial arts and silat. He became one of the most famous actors in the Dutch East Indies, and later in Indonesia.
