On television, he debuted in the telenovela Rasputín in 1979 and participated in several series and soap operas including Teatro universal, Revivamos nuestra historia, Suspenso 7:30, Historia de dos hermanos, El bazar de los idiotas, La dama del pantano, El precio del silencio, Traga maluca, La Potra Zaina, La casa de las dos palmas, Hombres, Lucerito, Almas de piedra, Un ángel llamado Azul, Luna, la heredera, En los tacones de Eva, Chepe fortuna, Bella calamidades, and ¿Quién mató a Patricia Soler?.
