Resortes, who began his career as a member of a circus, made his motion picture debut in 1946. He participated in more than 50 Mexican movies throughout his career, and he also participated in many television series. Among the films he made were El Rey de México (The King of Mexico), Al Son del Mambo (To the Mambo's Rhythm) and El Beisbolista Fenómeno (The Phenomenal Baseball Player). But one of his most famous movies was El Niño de la Mochila Azul (The Boy With the Blue Back Pack). That movie also had a sequel, La Niña de la Mochila Azul (The Girl With the Blue Back Pack). Those two movies in particular became two of the largest teen movie hits in Mexican movie history and helped Resortes gain familiarity among the younger generations during the 1980s.
