Demian Bichir

When you shoot a film, you have very little time to waste, and I try to go into the character as soon as possible and stay there as much as I can.

As a young actor, I booked a movie in the U.S. I didn't speak any English at the time, so I learned my lines phonetically when I auditioned for it.

It would be sad if my best work had been 20 years ago and now I only had memories.

I was lucky that audiences in Mexico liked my work. I was even luckier when I got to do movies and plays with my brothers.
