Juan, often called "The Mediterranean Jerry Lewis", started acting at the age
of 3 when he did impersonations of his teachers in school. He then did
every single school play a kid his age could and he has been acting
ever since. He spent the next 12 years going to school and doing TV
commercials. He attended Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City to
study the Bachelor in Communication. That helped him understand the
process behind the camera. His TV debut as a Series Regular was in
Platanito Show, where he was a sidekick for Platanito, one of
Mexico's most recognized comedians. There, he worked with comedians
such as Cepillin and Carlos Villagran "Kiko".
He flew to Miami, Florida to sign an exclusive contract to work for a year in American network
Univision at the show Despierta America. He went back to his country to
work with Mexico's top comedy actor, Eugenio Derbez in the show La
Familia P Luche. Over that period, he also shared credits in the show
Primero Mundial with Brozo and Andres Bustamante. In 2011, he moved to
LA where he attended the New York Film Academy to solidify his acting
education by getting the Associates degree in Acting for Film. He was part of the select group
that formed the NYFA West Ensamble, directed by Academy award nominee
actress Brenda Vaccaro, in which more than a hundred students
auditioned for.
After graduating from NYFA, in 2015, he went to Barcelona, Spain to star in Catalonia parody show "Crackovia", which was broadcast from Barcelona to the US and all of The Americas.
He has starred in five Mexican Movies and various TV Shows from TV Networks Televisa, Comedy Central and TV Azteca. In 2024, he brings his comedic tone to life in a news satire program called "Cotorreando La Noticia".
