From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saúl Lisazo (born June 1, 1956) is a famous Latin American actor, born in Los Toldos, Argentina.
Lisazo as a youngster wanted to become a soccer player, and he played for various teams in Argentina as a kid. However, his calling as an actor would soon take him far away from Argentina, and in 1989, he flew to Mexico, to participate in his first telenovela: Amor de Nadie, alongside Lucia Mendez and Fernando Allende.
Lisazo went on to become a super-star actor in Mexico, becoming the main protagonist in many soap operas, including the ones filmed with Thalia and Gabriela Spanic. He also became a sex symbol in Mexico, and made a low budget film in Hollywood.
In 2000, Lisazo was signed to participate in the play Cartas de Amor (Letters of Love) alongside Kate del Castillo. Initially, the play toured only through Mexico.
In 2001, Lisazo went to Puerto Rico to participate in a film alongside Adamari Lopez and Jaime Bello, among others. However, this project was apparently scratched off.
In 2002, Lisazo had to return to Argentina briefly, as his mother was recovering from an illness.
In 2003, Lisazo, generally considered by fans to be a good autograph singer, went on tour with del Castillo internationally, as their play was scheduled to be taken to the United States and other countries.
In June of 2004, Lisazo's contract with Televisa is due to end. Because of this, it has been rumored that he will move on to Televisa's rival Telemundo, where he would make a soap opera and participate in a reality show named Protagonistas de Novela 2.
