Biography

Growing up in a family of actors and seeing his relatives on television, film studios, and interviews , Sanchez Navarro was introduced to the world of show business early on.

Following his father's footsteps, at the age of twenty-two, Sanchez Navarro played a supporting role in the 1980 telenovela Secretos de Confesion (Secrets to Confess). He did not work in telenovelas again until 1982's Por Amor (For Love). In 1983, he acted in Manana es Primavera (Tomorrow it Will Be Spring), Cuarteto Para el fin del Tiempo (A Quartet Until the End), Bodas de Odio (Hate Wedding), and Cazador de Demonios (Demon Hunter).

He played Orson, a feature character, in 1988's El Pecado de Oyuki (Oyuki's Sin).

He participated in only one episode of 1989's Cita con la Muerte (Date with Death). Afterwards, he acted in small roles in three more soap operas, before playing Adolfo Degollado in 1991's El Teatro del Horror (Horror Theatre). He followed that up by playing Rodolfo Olmedo in 1992's Lo Blanco y lo Negro (Black and White), and Renato in 1993's Valentina, another telenovela.

Sanchez Navarro reached celebrity status when he played Santiago Ugalde, a criminal millionaire and show business representative, in 1994's Volver a Empezar, alongside actors Yuri (who played Santiago's girlfriend), Chayanne, Eduardo Changerotti, and Guillermo García Cantú, among others.

Volver A Empezar spawned a soundtrack CD, where Chayanne, Yuri and Changerotti sang. The soap opera gave Sanchez Navarro fame in places such as Argentina, Puerto Rico, the United States, Israel, and Russia.

After finding success, Sanchez Navarro was moved to Televisa's rival, TV Azteca. He became one of that network's first bonafide celebrities when he signed a contract with the channel, and, towards the end of 1994, he recorded Peor es Nada, which was also seen in Hong Kong with the name Better Than Nothing.
