Luis Fernando Peña is one of Mexico’s leading young actors in both the telenovela and feature worlds.

He made his film debut in Carlos Carrera’s hit Un Embrujo, which earned 9 Ariel Awards (the Mexican film industry’s highest honor). He was himself an Ariel nominee for his next feature, Marisa Sistach’s Perfume de violetas; and again for his performances in Fernando Sariñana’s Amar te duele and Gerardo Tort’s De la calle. The latter also earned him honors from the Guadalajara Film Festival and the Mexican Cinema Journalists. Additionally, he has twice been nominated for an MTV Movie Award (in Latin America and Mexico).

Mr. Fernando Peña’s recent film credits include Ernesto Castillejo’s Destinos cruzados; Rodrigo Plá’s Desierto adentro; Eduardo Lucatero’s Corazón marchito; Rudy Joffroy’s El Camino del diablo; and Alex Rivera’s Sleep Dealer, which won awards at the 2008 Berlin International and Sundance Film Festivals.

He has appeared in recurring roles in the television series Clase 406, Lo que callamos las mujeres, Vesinos, and Mujer, casos de la vida real, among others.
