He rose to fame in a TV commercial for the defunct bank Bital (now HSBC México) where he played a filthy but comic prison inmate.
His nickname La Tartamuda (The Stutterer, a comparison with the onomatopoeia of a gun firing bullets) originated from this part.
[citation needed] He acted in films including Perdita Durango (1997), Sexo, pudor y lágrimas (1999) and Mejor que la vida (2008), although he was most famous for his TV work.
In the show, he took the role of many characters such as La Madre Sota (Spanish word-play, "the big mother"), El Pollero.
In 2003, he co-starred with Andrea Legarreta and Eduardo Capetillo in the children's soap opera ¡Vivan los niños!, and in 2007 on Destilando Amor which marked his last TV appearance.
