Biography |
Eduardo Kuno Becker Paz is a Mexican actor of telenovelas,
the cinema of Mexico and the United States.
Becker was born in Mexico City to Eduardo Manuel Becker
Cuellar and Maria del Rocío Bebbie Paz Felix; his paternal
grandfather was a German immigrant and his maternal
grandfather was Spanish, while both of his grandmothers are
Mexican. He has two siblings; Gunther and Karine. Becker's
career as an artist began at an early age, although not as
an actor but as a musician. When he was six years old, he
intended to become a professional violinist. After obtaining
a scholarship, he travelled to Europe and began his studies
in the famous Mozarteum of the city of Salzburg, Austria,
where he spent several years studying the violin with
internationally famous teachers such as Denes Zsigmondi and
Rugiero Ricci.
At seventeen, however, Kuno made the decision to set aside
his career as a violinist, in order to pursue what he now
considers his greater passion, acting. He auditioned with
more than 3,200 candidates, and was accepted as a student at
the Centro de Educación Artística (CEA) of Televisa.
At the age of nineteen, after two years of drama studies, he
obtained his first rôle in the telenovela Para Toda la Vida,
with which he stayed for 120 episodes. He later participated
in the telenovelas Pueblo Chico, Infierno Grande (with
Verónica Castro and directed by José Alberto Castro), El
Alma no Tiene Color (directed by Juan Osorio) Desencuentro
(directed by Ernesto Alonso), Rencor Apacionado (directed by
Lucero Suárez), Camila (directed byAngelli Nesma) and
Soñadoras. In April 2000 Becker concluded the recording of
the telenovela Mujeres Engañadas, his first lead rôle.
In addition to his work in television, Becker has
participated in some plays with Televisa. In 1998 he worked
in the musical comedy En Roma el Amor es Broma. At the time
he was appearing in the telenovela Soñadoras, Becker toured
several Mexican cities with his one-man show Culpas
Prohibidas. In only a few years and thanks to the Televisa's
high profile in Mexico, he has become one of the best-known
young actors.
In the cinema he provided the voice of Cale in the
Spanish-dubbing of the film Titan A.E., and also appeared in
the 1997 film La Primera Noche. In 2002 Becker starred in
the film La hija del caníbal]] (Lucía, Lucía) opposite the
Argentine actress Cecilia Roth, and in 2005 he played the
lead role of Santiago Munez for the film Goal!. Becker has
said that now he wishes to concentrate solely on his film
career, and is looking for new opportunities not only in
Mexican films, but also internationally.
