Full Eugenio Derbez Biography
Eugenio González Derbez (born September 2, 1961) is a Mexican comedy actor and Formula 1 auto driver. Derbez is the son of actress Silvia Derbez and brother of Silvia Eugenia Derbez. His niece, who also uses the name Silvia Eugenia Derbez, is also an actress. Derbez is said to be born in Mexico City, but some claim he was actually born in San Luis Potosi.
Eugenio Derbez grew up surrounded by famous show business people, and he developed an early childhood interest in acting. At the age of twelve, he made his television debut, acting as an extra in a telenovela.
In 1988, Derbez got his first recurring television character, when he played a number of roles in a comedy show called "Anabel". In 1987, he briefly worked in a television series named "Tal Como Somos" ("Just The Way we Are").
In 1999, Derbez started a new show, "Derbez en Cuando", a word play for "de vez en cuando", which means "every once in a while". Derbez appeared in "Carita de Angel" in 2000, working alongside Silvia Pinal, Ana Patricia Rojo, Libertad Lamarque and Miguel de León, among others. He also starred that year in "Cómplices al Rescate" ("Accomplices to the Rescue"), a major teenaged themed telenovela that gave Derbez the opportunity to act alongside former Menudo Johnny Lozada, Belinda Peregrin, Daniela Lujan, Francisco Gattorno and Laura Flores, among others.
Derbez produced, in 2003, a television series named "XHDrbz". That series marked his debut as producer, and he has since produced "Hospital el Paisa" ("Countrymen Hospital") and "Vecinos" ("Neighbors"). He also had acting roles in both "XHDrbz" and "Vecinos".
He was also stellar in his show, "La Familia P.Luche" (wordplay for "P.Lush Family"), about a family who wears clothes, drive cars, and have things completely made of plush. He plays as Ludovico Pérez Luche.
In 2004, he appeared on Adal Ramones' show, "Otro Rollo", and in 2005, Derbez was the host of Univision's Premio Lo Nuestro ceremony.
In 2006 Derbez directed a play titled "La bella y la muy bestia" by Mariano Moro and produced by actors Emyliano Santa Cruz and Mariana Buoninconti. Derbez was caught lying after he commented in a post-premiere press conference that Repertorio Español had 'canceled' his play when in reality he knew that the theatre had only promised one performance. Mr. Derbez had made a statement about the single-show agreement during a pre-premiere press conference, showing his obvious contradiction and desire to get publicity at all cost.
Derbez has remained active in theater plays as well, appearing in the Broadway play "Latinologues". He has bought a number of Formula 1 racing cars, which he has used to compete at various races. |
