Alberto Pavón is an established actor with extensive experience in film, TV and theatre, primarily in Spain. He was born in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, on November 13, 1975. His parents are José and Josefa Pavón and he has an older brother, Baltasar, who he considers his "source of inspiration". As a child, Alberto was mischievous and, to his own admission, uncontrollable. He admits he felt the urge to touch and investigate everything that surrounded him, which led him to break apart toys and tools to understand how things worked, which got him into trouble more often than not. He was a good student, and his father initially wanted him to be a doctor, but Alberto had other plans.

As a teen he didn't particularly consider himself attractive. He describes himself, at that time, as awkward and too thin, and he claims he wasn't popular with the girls. As he turned 18, the age at which he was required to join the mandatory military service in Spain, he got involved with physical fitness, a passion that he would pursue for the rest of his life. Alberto credits his fitness regime for building up his confidence, and after the service he decided to become a personal trainer. His work as a trainer sparked his interest in modeling and acting, and it would be a natural and successful progression for him.

He was a contestant in the male beauty pageant "Mr. Baleares", held annually in the Spanish isles that share that name. He was the runner-up, and this exposure led him to other opportunities that increased his visibility in the competitive modeling industry. In the late 90s he left Mallorca for Barcelona, a major hub for the Spanish modeling segment. Once he delved deeper into training as an actor and voice-over performer, he began to appear in commercials and ads for major European and multinational brands, among them Burger King, Sony Tablet, Stefanel (Italy), Roomba, Ariel, Toyota (Japan) and ING Direct (spokesperson for Spain).

In the early 2000s he moved to Madrid, where he honed in on his acting craft by studying under the Meisner Method, on-screen and on-stage performance courses at the prestigious Centro de Artes y Técnicas Audiovisuales (CATA) and studying under renowned Spanish teachers Angeles Albadalejo and Miguel Garcés. Alberto was very busy between 2006 and 2013, appearing in theatre ("Eloisa está Debajo de un Almendro" and "Poquita Cosa", among others), TV series (notably the popular shows "La Que Se Avecina", where he played the brother, "Planta 25" and "Yo Soy Bea") and feature films, such as "Aún Hay Tiempo", "Tequila" and the teaser "La Rabia", all filmed and produced in Spain.

In 2013 Alberto moved to Mexico City, looking to cross over to the TV and film industry in the Americas. He auditioned was quickly selected for the role as the main villain in the Mexican telenovela "La Impostora', which debuted on Telemundo in January 2014. He plays against lauded Argentinian-Mexican actress Christian Bach and her son, the actor Sebastian Zurita. The show is in active production in 2014.

Jouer is the French word for acting. When a Frenchman says "Tu joues trés bien" he means the same as the German who reasserts: "Ja echt, sehr gut gespielt". In both French jouer and German spielen the verb means to act, perform, play. The first memories I have of Julian is playing during our childhood in Palma. A dusty old armchair would be a Japanese Zero in the Battle of the Pacific, our bikes immortal horses through the plains of Death Valley and the steps of our house the stage where our fantasies, fears and wishes would be thrown onto the street of our sunny neighbourhood of fishermen. Those eternal afternoons were only broken by Julian's commitment to an early passion: swimming. None of us believed that somebody could train for five hours and then keep on rambling with his friends. At the age of seventeen he was given a scholarship to train and study in Sheffield, England. More disciplined training and studying. According to his letters, nothing much came from it. Far from home, in the need of company, he started socialising with Marlowe, Garcilaso, Cervantes, Moliere, Shakespeare, Lord Byron or Shelley. He had discovered the wonders of the library. Three months after the course started, he stood up in the International Marketing class and replied to the teacher's question: "Sir, I do not know what I want, but I know what I don't want." Days later he was starting his ballet, voice and drama lessons in hometown Palma. Days of local venues and success were followed by contracts with international dance companies: Mallorca, Canary Islands, and Germany. From dancing to drama. From Paris and London down to Munich, Frankfurt, Berlin. Late cabaret shows in late clubs. Smoke, noise and first flirtations with cinema. More travelling to Los Angeles and New York looking for inspiration, vibration, art and life. His performances and impersonations, his sensitivity towards varied moods and accents has not only surprised the audience, but has also been an asset when escaping from Cuban police, sweet-talk South African border clerks (I still recall his boer accent) or socialising with the crème de la crème of Hollywood party dwellers. Spanish novelist Pío Baroja stated that an artist or a writer first has to live - experience life - in order to create emotional baggage (fondo sentimental) before performing or writing. Julian is prepared to perform and write. His passion and respect for the acting and filming career is overwhelmingly contagious. His dedication to it, admirable. The greatest English bard wrote "the world's a stage". If he had met Julian he wouldn't have hesitated in pointing that Julian's stage is the world. (May 2008)
