Luis Gatica (born February 25, 1961) is a Mexican actor of Chilean and Puerto Rican descent. ==Biography== Luis Gatica was born in Veracruz, Mexico. He grew in a show business family. He is the son of Chilean singer Lucho Gatica and Puerto Rican actress Mapita Cortés; he is the nephew of Puerto Rican actress Mapy Cortés and second cousin of Puerto Rican actor, comedian and producer Paquito Cordero. Having celebrity relatives both in Mexico and in Puerto Rico, Gatica wanted to become a celebrity on his own since he was very young. Gatica participated in various theater plays and in some, not particularly notable, music groups as he grew. He struggled trying to follow in his parents' footsteps. His first big break came in 1983, when he was hired by Televisa to act in ''La fiera'', which is considered a contemporary classic among telenovelas. In 1984, he played ''Joel'' in ''Los años felices'' (''The Happy Years''). This was followed by 1986's ''Marionetas'' (''Puppets''), where he played ''Jorge Linares''. Having obtained celebrity for the first time, Gatica tried his luck in the world of music, retiring from television from 1986 to 1994. Although his foray into the world of rock music was largely unsuccessful, he nevertheless kept active for those eight years, singing in many Mexican locations. In 1994, he was offered a return to television, and he did so by participating in another Mexican classic, ''Marimar'', playing ''Chuy''. Gatica then made his film debut, when he participated in 1995's ''Tiempo de Muerte 2'' (''Time to Die 2''). ''Tiempo de Muerte 2'' was followed by ''A sangre fría ("In cold blood") where he played ''Beto''. In 1996, Gatica returned to acting in telenovelas, participating in ''La antorcha encendida'' (''The burning torch''), as ''Juan Foncerrada'' and in ''Mi querida Isabel'' (''My beloved Isabel''), where he played ''Ricardo''. He took one year off before returning to the screen in 1998, acting as ''Ruben'' in ''Cazador de cazadores'' (''Hunter of hunters''), an action movie. That same year, he participated as ''Patricio'' in ''Preciosa'', another telenovela that was successful. That telenovela was followed by another one, ''La mentira'' (''The Lie''), where he personified ''Santiago''. Luis Gatica made one telenovela in 1999: in ''DKDA: Suenos de Juventud'' (''DKDA: Dreams of Youth''), he played ''Raul Arias''. Returning to the film industry in 2000, Gatica played ''Rodrigo Miranda'' in ''Cuenta saldada'' (''Paid Debt''). His next work, however, was in a soap opera marred by general criticism by magazine and newspaper telenovela critics. ''Sin Pecado Concebido'', where he played ''doctor Garduno'', was not well received by the media, which doomed the show with tele-spectators, and the soap opera was not a success. In 2002, Gatica joined other celebrities in the ''Big Brother'' reality show, in Mexico City. Gatica began 2003 by participating in another telenovela: he played ''Jorge Esparza'' in ''Niña Amada Mía'' (''Beloved girl of mine''). This was followed by ''Clap! El lugar de tus sueños'' (''Clap! the place of your dreams''), where he played ''Rivadeneira'', and by 2004's ''Rubí'', where he acted as ''Cayetano''. In 2006, he acted in the telenovela produced by José Alberto Castro ''Codigo Postal'', as Herman. In 2008, he appeared in "En Nombre del Amor" In 2014, he acted yet again in an other telenovela produced by Roberto Gómez Fernandez ''El Color de la Pasión", as Ricardo Marquez.
