Guillermo Dávila
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guillermo Dávila (born 18 March 1955, in Caracas) is a Venezuelan actor and singer who has acted in many telenovelas.
After starting his career in theatre in the 1970s, Dávila first gained national fame in a telenovela called Ligia Helena, becoming famous internationally in 1983, when he starred in its sequel, Nacho, on Venevision. He played the eponymous main character. He then went to Puerto Rico, where he starred alongside Ivonne Goderich in the soap opera Diana Carolina for WAPA-TV. The series' main song, "Toda La Luz Que Brilla", became a number-one hit for him.
Dávila's international stardom somewhat faded after that, but he remained busy at home with numerous soap operas, variety television shows, and album releases, until in 1992 he made a comeback in the international arena with another soap opera, Cara Sucia.
As a singer, Dávila has more released over ten albums, some of which are international platinum or gold records. He sang the songs on the soundtracks for nearly all his soap-operas.
Dávila remains a popular star at home, and is called "The Idol of a Generation" in Venezuela.
Dávila was married twice but is now divorced. He has two teenage daughters.
