Biography

José María Yazpik, a highly acclaimed and accomplished Mexican film and television actor, came into this world on November 13, 1970, in the vibrant city of Mexico City, Mexico.

Yazpik's initial foray into the world of acting was made possible through the auspices of a friend of his father, who played a pivotal role in producing the television movie "The Brute with the Angel of Death", thus serving as a catalyst for his entry into the profession. Subsequently, he made the decision to relocate to Mexico City in order to further pursue his passion for acting, which led him to enroll at the prestigious Centro de Educación Artística (CEA) of Televisa, an esteemed institution that afforded him the rare opportunity to study alongside a talented group of individuals who would go on to become prominent figures in the entertainment industry, including the likes of Arath de la Torre, Fabián Corres, and Eduardo Rill.

After the culmination of his academic pursuits, Yazpik was presented with opportunities to appear in minor capacities within youth-oriented television dramas broadcast on Televisa, a prospect that initially held little appeal for him.

Despite his initial reservations, Yazpik found himself constrained by the terms of the exclusive contract he had previously entered into with the television station, which stipulated that he was obligated to accept every role that was offered to him, regardless of his personal preferences or reservations.

As a consequence of his decision to comply with the contractual obligations, Yazpik was subsequently subjected to a two-month reduction in his remuneration, a penalty that served as a stark reminder of the importance of carefully considering the terms of any agreement before signing one's name to it.

Yazpik's career in television experienced a significant milestone in 1995, marking the beginning of his journey towards stardom, when he secured his first major role in the captivating soap opera "The Dove", a production masterfully crafted by the talented José Rendón.

Despite the immense potential of this project, the production was unfortunately brought to a halt due to the devastating loss of its protagonist, the renowned actor Gerardo Hemmer, whose untimely passing left a lasting impact on the industry.

The following year, Yazpik continued to hone his craft by participating in his second telenovela, "Song of Love", a production of exceptional quality, skillfully guided by the visionary Luis de Llano Macedo.

In addition to his work in television, Yazpik also made his mark in the world of film, appearing in the thought-provoking and emotionally charged "Última llamada", a cinematic masterpiece expertly directed by the talented Carlos Garcia Agraz.

In the year 1997, a pivotal moment emerged in the burgeoning career of the talented individual, Yazpik, as television roles started to play a significantly more prominent role in his professional trajectory.

He landed the captivating role of a youth, however, with a darker and more sinister undertone, as the villainous character in the telenovelas "Pueblo chico, infierno grande" and "Ángela", both masterfully crafted and produced by the renowned José Alberto Castro.
