Ricardo Chávez is a multi-award-winning actor known internationally for his successful career of almost four decades in the entertainment industry. He is also a Best-Seller Author, Speaker, Martial Artist, Producer, Entrepreneur, and Philanthropist.

Ricardo was born in Mexico City on November 24th into a middle-class family. He is the youngest of three brothers. His father, Juan Manuel Chávez Campoamor, an engineer, and his mother, Hilda Olace Franck, a housewife, were both in the entertainment business before getting married. Don Juan sang Mexican music and even opened concerts for Pedro Infante. Doña Hilda, a very beautiful woman, was a model.

From his birth, Ricardo was fortunate enough to have an "angel" next to him: his nanny Amelia, who raised him and took care of him with the love of a true spiritual mother. The sacrifice and dedication of this great woman, as he puts it, are the purest examples of true and unconditional love that have shaped Ricardo into the man he is today.

When Ricardo was very young, his father introduced him to the Martial Arts where he found refuge for his need to fuse into a balance of spirituality, discipline, and code of honor. He was selected to become part of the national team in his country for Tae Kwon Do and Ju-Do. He is a black belt in both disciplines as well as in Kum-Do, the art of the Korean sword. Later on, he fought professionally in Full-Contact. Ricardo continues practicing Martial Arts, being his favorite Iai-Do, the ancient Japanese art of the Samurai sword.

In his quest for the expression of that great spiritual wealth and the whirlwind of feelings and emotions caused by so many unanswered questions, from a very young age, Ricardo felt the compelling need to express himself through art. At first, his dream was to become a singer, but through the years he would discover his true passion: Acting.

Ricardo formally started his journey toward success at age 16 when, for the first time, he set foot on a theatre stage. During that time, he was already studying a bachelor's to become a Classical Dance Performer at the world-renowned National Institute of Fine Arts of México, the birthplace of great world-famous dancers as well as Flamenco Dance with a legend in that art: the Maestro Fernando Valdéz.

Although he continued working in theatre and preparing as an actor, he later decided to give modeling a try after being discovered by an important fashion show coordinator. The results of that decision were immediate. He rapidly gained popularity and traveled to several continents as the image for leading names such as Hugo Boss and Armani. Nevertheless, acting was a need for his soul and he opted to permanently leave his modeling career and go back to his great passion, committing to it in body and soul.

With multiple awards for his talent, 23 soap operas, 22 theater plays, 12 movies, and over 170 television shows and series under his belt, Ricardo also wrote his first book "Your Life Does Not Have To Be A Soap Opera©", which had been a Best-Seller in several categories for several years.

This multi-talented artist is also a successful entrepreneur, being founder and CEO of the production company, a Publishing Company, and also developing his beauty and anti-aging line of products Divas Never Age®.

Ricardo has cultivated an impeccable reputation through the years by always leading a life free of scandals or embarrassing situations. His main interest is family and the legacy he can leave behind.

During his career, Ricardo has always kept in touch with those who have helped make his professional success a reality through his web pages. He is well-liked and respected by the press, his peers, his fans, and the industry in general.

In the past years, Ricardo has been awarded several times due to his artistic and philanthropic work. Some of these awards are the APAE Award for his philanthropic work, the Latin Pride National Awards, the No Limits Talent Awards, the Fame Magazine Award, the Orchid USA Award, and many more.

Some of his most important experiences and achievements include:
