What did it mean for your career participated in a telenovela as "Hold me tight"?

I'm a little worried about the ratings telenovela abroad, as my other work had a very good reception. For example, the "Esmeralda" and "Mary of the suburbs." But it was a very good project, it was perfectly accepted by our audience. Thanks to the efforts of the Mexican Televisa actors can always count on the support and assistance of the company abroad. When the ratings in other countries began to outpace other telenovela soap operas, I sighed with relief. Of course, first of all, I was worried about the reaction in Mexico, but ...

You never made a mistake in choosing a telenovela?

I am very lucky. Fate and God led me in the right direction. I worked with a very good team, and participated in the highly successful series

Colunga times "Mary of the suburbs" is very different from you this?

When I finish work on a project, I was again beginning to learn. Yes, I hit something. But it imposes special obligations. The actor must constantly evolve. That's why I tried his comedy roles in the theater. Of course, it was a certain risk, because of the Fernando Colunga audience has ever seen. But he justified. I do not want all the time to stay in the role of the romantic hero, I need to develop.
