In spite of his appearance, his age of 52 and his 44 years of work experience, Pepe Suarez is one of the most complete actors of the moment, which results in him being called a generic actor by the media.
All of these years in the entertainment industry have taken Pepe on a path that allows him to enter into practically all facets of acting. He begins his professional career at the age of 8 with a leading role in “LA PALOMILLA AL RESCATE”, the film which earned him “La Diosa De Plata” (the equivalent of a Golden Globe in Mexico) for the best child performance of 1976. The success of the film as well as his performance gave way to the sequel the following year entitled “LA PALOMILLA EN VACACIONES MISTERIOSAS” which won the Golden Bear award at the Berlin International Film Festival for the best family film of the year.
While continuing his studies, Pepe enters television for the first time starring in the children series “LA CASA DEL ARBOL”, playing the role of Vicente, the character that would earn him the nomination for “Las Palmas de Oro” (equivalent to the Emmy’s) in 1981.
“HISTORIAS DE NIÑAS Y NIÑOS” and “LOS INTRÉPIDOS” are children’s programs in which he has many guest appearances, which ultimately leads him to obtain his own television series entitled “COMO JUGANDO”, in which he embarks for the first time at the age of 14 as host (1982-83).
Once again the movie industry called, this time for him to star in the independent film “EL RITO DEL SORDO”, in which he plays his first dramatic role (1983). His studies separate him from the industry for a while until he completes high school, to later initiate what he considers his most important experience: the nocturnal spectacles.
“QUÉ NOS PASA” (1986), “QUÉ NOS PASÓ” (1987), “HABLEMOS PUES” (1988) and “NOS GANÓ LA RISA” (1989), were the night club shows that the company of Héctor Suárez produced , in which Pepe Suárez participated in for almost 5 years doing theatre presentations, cabarets and stockades throughout the entire Mexican Republic, the United States & Colombia. During the first two years working backstage, he learns the execution of the technical assembly, management of audio and lighting, as well as the visual effects that are utilized in those spectacles, including smoke machines, strobe light, lasers, operating the spotlight, and video and slide show presentations.
He initiates his preparation as a dancer by training 9 hours daily for 6 months, trained by foreign and national professional classical, jazz and tap dancers. Pepe then incorporates himself to the team of actors and dancers, while simultaneously learning the secrets of the production and scenic direction areas. He also participates as the writer of some of the sketches for the final spectacle while he was with this company.
Televisa (the biggest spanish network television around the world) calls upon Pepe for the first time to participate in a soap opera titled “ANGELES BLANCOS” (1990), taking to the small screen 110 episodes portraying the shy Dr. Álvaro Gutiérrez.
Angélica Ortiz invites him to try his comedic talent in theater, and with his character “Choforo” he reaches over 200 performances of “MAMÁ AMA EL ROCK” with Angelica Maria, Angelica Vale and Ricky Martin, only being interrupted to begin shooting his second soap opera “YO NO CREO EN LOS HOMBRES” (1991). Co-starring as Leonardo on 160 episodes, that year he is nominated for the following awards: “Trofeo T.V. Novelas”, “Premio Eres”, “Premio Bravo” & “Testimonio de Calidad de Teleguía” for the best young actor.
Silvia Pinal calls him to her show to work on “MUJER CASOS DE LA VIDA REAL” giving him 3 different chapters from the said series, to then offer him the protagonist role in the play “PERROS ROCKANROLEROS” as a comedic character.
