In 1983, Telemaco acted alongside Juan Ferrara in channel 2's acclaimed telenovela, Laura Guzman, Culpable!
The mini series was shown on Super Siete and gave Telemaco the opportunity of acting alongside Ruth Fernández, Rafael Jose and Nydia Caro, among others.
Telemaco made his Hollywood debut later that year, having a minor role in a low budget movie, Cat Chaser.
While in Spain, he furthered his studies in drama and began preparing for a future Hollywood career by taking English classes.
In the United States, Telemaco participated in two Hispanic television telenovelas, the play in English & Spanish: "The Valiant" (1998) directed by Venezuelan producer and director Raphael Ojeda, among other theater productions.
That same year, Telemaco got his second opportunity in Hollywood, when he played a Cuban man in Bad Boys II, which starred Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.
