Omar Rafael Chaparro Alvidrez (Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico, November 26, 1974) is a Mexican actor, media personality and singer.
I was almost one of The Magnificent Seven. I love horses and guns.
There are a lot of things that American fans don't know about me yet! I would say they don't know me at all, but I guess that's great because now I have the chance to surprise them and make friends.
I'm afraid that a certain situation drives me to be someone that I am not, and I always want to be honest and real. I want to be me.
I don't like to think on obstacles. I guess that if you focus your mind on obstacles, they will grow bigger.
The biggest obstacle that you can have is all inside your head, so I try every day to be optimistic and keep dreaming about great things!
I was so desperate to get a job on TV (with no money), that I dressed as an old lady, went to the TV channel and said to security that I was the producer's grandma and had brought him lunch.
As long you feel complete, loved and happy with a purpose, and you have the appreciation for every little thing that surrounds you, that's success for me.
That's one of the things [diversity] that I love the most and that makes not only Hollywood, but America the great country that it is. I'm not complaining - I celebrate it, and I think there are a sea of opportunities because of that.
Lucky me, the producer was arriving, and when he saw me [dressed as an old lady], he didn't know what to think. I told him, 'I'm your grandma here's your lunch, honey,' and I got my first TV show in Mexico.
The key to success is to love what you do or to do what you love, no matter if you're doing it big time or in a small way.
If I could choose, I would say [I would like to be filming with] Natalie Portman and Leonardo DiCaprio.
I've always been a very lucky guy. A lot of crazy things have happened in my career, but I guess the first big break was when I moved to Mexico City from Chihuahua.
I'm afraid to be afraid in a crucial moment.
