Fernando, a bodybuilding champion with a remarkable feat of winning the title twice in a row in his hometown of Maracaibo, Venezuela, achieved an impressive milestone by owning his own gym at the tender age of 20. This remarkable achievement marked the beginning of his journey, which would take him to new heights as he pursued his passion for acting.
In 1995, Fernando made the bold decision to relocate to Miami, driven by his dream of becoming a successful actor. After eight years of living in the city, he had amassed an impressive resume, with over 50 national commercials to his credit in the Latin and American market.
Fernando's breakthrough came when he landed a role in the studio movie Bad Boys II, directed by the renowned Michael Bay and starring the charismatic Will Smith. This marked his first opportunity to showcase his speaking skills, and he seized the moment with aplomb.
In 2003, Fernando made the courageous decision to start anew in Los Angeles, determined to make a name for himself in the competitive world of acting. It was during this period that he discovered his passion for writing, and he went on to pen his first screenplay, Inked.
The script's success was meteoric, with Fernando's hard work and dedication earning him a spot in the prestigious Sundance Writers Lab in 2012. Out of over 4,000 scripts submitted, only 30 were selected as finalists, and Inked was one of them, a testament to Fernando's remarkable talent.
Fernando's journey did not stop there. In 2011, he decided to take a chance and explore the vibrant television scene in Mexico and Colombia. With his name gradually becoming synonymous with excellence in the industry, he continued to hone his craft, leaving a lasting impact on the world of entertainment.
