Biography

Rafael started his acting career in a play at the age of 7. When he was 19 he married and had a daughter Isla, who still lives in Costa Rica. At the age of 22 he moved to Mexico and obtained small role in a college film and in the telenovela ''La pobre señorita Limantour''. A year later he participated i the film ''La segua''. His big break came three years later as the love interest of the character played by singer Thalía in ''Quinceañera''.

he has worked in 20 telenovelas, including ''Teresa'' with Salma Hayek and ''Amor real'', the TVyNovelas Award "Best Telenovela of the Year" in 2003. He almost did not get the part of Amadeo Corona in ''Amor real'' because he was touring the country with one of his plays. After showing interest in the telenovela the role was re-written so that he could still play the part.

In 2004 he participated in the biographic film of telenovela producer Juan Osorio. A year later he also recorded an album of pre-Hispanic music and started filming a new telenovela titled ''Flor de campo''.

In Mexico he married María Magdadlena with whom he has had two daughters: Neshkala and Mar.
