Navarro was known for playing rich dons, villains and for being "mahangin," a trademark in film and television to which he was known for, notably as Don Facundo in the Philippine sitcom Beh Bote Nga. Mahangin roughly translates as "Superiority among others" in the Filipino language.

A Retired Master Sergeant in the Philippine Constabulary, he himself was a sharpshooter, which was evident in some of his films during the 1960s.

Navarro also served as a Councilor in Pasig, a Radio anchor and was a top product endorser during his time.
