He participated in several commercials between 1977 and 1980, where he was the leading figure in the soft drink Pepsi. He acted in the first Chilean version of the rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar in 1981. Then he debuted in telenovelas in the classic La madrastra (1981), in which he stood out with his character as "Greco", a teacher famous for his stuttering. He has played many main roles, the most remembered is Chronicle of a Holy Man in 1990, where he played Alberto Hurtado, a Chilean Jesuit saint priest and in 2005 he participated in the production Alberto: Who knows how much it costs to make a buttonhole?.[1]
