Early life

edit

Early in his life Guzmán wanted to enter Menudo, but was unable to do it, eventually forming friendships with several former members. He subsequently studied in the University of Puerto Ricoʻs campus in Río Piedras.[3] After completing his studies in the institutionʻs Department of Drama, Guzmán moved to Mexico in 1999, interested in pursuing a career in the telenovela industry. Although he works most of the time in Mexico, Guzmán often travels to Puerto Rico to rest.[citation needed]

Acting career

edit

In Mexico, Guzmán received a contract with Televisa. Guzmán has expressed that the most important role of his career is as El Pantera in the TV series of the same name. In his youth Guzmán was a follower of several fictional superheroes, including Atom Ant and ThunderCats, which influenced his acceptance for the role. Guzmán has expressed that he would like to act in more telenovelas produced in Puerto Rico, but feels that Puerto Rican television needs to reduce the number of foreign productions. He also noted that he would like to work on the island after the production of El Pantera.

On June 26, 2013, it was confirmed that Luis Roberto Guzmán (along with Angelique Boyer and Sebastián Rulli) would star in Angelli Nesma's Lo Que La Vida Me Robó, a remake of Ernesto Alonso's Bodas de odio produced in 1983.[4]

Musical career

Guzmán released Bipolar, his first musical production, in 2008. The album was originally released in Mexico, intending a 2009 release for Puerto Rico and the United States.
