Eugenio Derbez is unquestionably one of Mexico's best-known actors, the most recognized actor among the Spanish-speaking population in the United States, and most importantly, one of the most influential actors in Latin America. His TV shows maintain the highest ratings in the entire country, all well over a decade. Born in Mexico City, Eugenio Derbez is the son of one of the greatest cinema and television actresses in the history of Mexico, Sylvia Derbez. He began acting at 12 years of age and still today he continues to recreate and master his craft. His versatility and charisma as an actor, along with the freshness of his ideas, contribute to his ever expanding popularity. Due to his crossover appeal he has managed to capture the Hispanic market in the U.S. He has a degree in Film Directing from the Mexican Institute of Cinematography and Theater, as well as a degree in Acting from Televisa's Acting School. He has also studied and is trained in the arts of Dance, Music and Singing, and still today he continues prepping himself in L.A. and in New York City. Because of his superior recognition as a comedian by the Spanish-speaking population from South America to the U.S., Derbez has been working on crossing over and is proving to be a gifted performer to the English-speaking audiences as well. Although the bulk of his work has been performed in Spanish throughout Mexico and Latin America, he has gained rave reviews in the U.S. for his work in "Latinologues" in which he took part for almost two years.
