Biographie
Felipe, born in Monterrey, Mexico, has always been drawn to the performing arts. As a child, he attended a music school that sharpened his musical ear. At 14, he taught himself guitar and began composing music. He performed as the lead vocalist in several bands with friends and was appointed Music Director for his high school's arts festival. He later spent three years at university, taking theatre classes as extracurricular activities before deciding to pursue acting full-time.
At 21, Felipe enrolled in the Vancouver Film School’s Full-Time Acting for Film and TV program. After graduating, he completed the Film Production Full-Time Program at the same school, earning honors in both. He returned to Mexico in late 2005.
In 2006, he traveled to New York City to audition for the Stella Adler Studio of Acting’s 2.5-year conservatory program. Although accepted, he was advised to begin working rather than continue studying. Following this advice, Felipe returned to Monterrey, where he met renowned Mexican actress Patricia Reyes Spindola during a play. She encouraged him to move to Mexico City, where, two weeks later, she introduced him to key casting directors, leading to auditions for feature films.
His first audition was for the film "Species 4," in which he secured a role. From there, he worked in commercials and other projects, including a small role in the 2007 movie "Rudo y Cursi," starring Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna and directed by Carlos Cuarón. His breakthrough came in early 2008 when he landed a leading role as Flavio in "Viaje Redondo" ("Round Trip"), directed by Gerardo Tort and winner of the Best Movie Award at the 2009 Guadalajara International Film Festival. In 2009, he also appeared in the Fox TV series "Persons Unknown," released in the United States in 2010, portraying Ricky Morton.
In 2011, Felipe secured a lead role in the Discovery Channel TV series "Killer Instinct," playing a Mexican serial killer known as "The Sadist.
