[edit] Biography

Christopher Alexander Luis Casillas von Uckermann was born in Mexico City to a Mexican father and Swedish mother. He started his acting career when he was just 2 years old in TV commercials.[1]

[edit] Acting Career

In 1999 he was cast in El diario de Daniela, a successful children's telenovela. He then starred in Amigos X Siempre in 2000, with Spanish singer Belinda. In 2001 he acted in and wrote the theme song for the telenovela Aventuras En El Tiempo.

In 2004 he was cast in Rebelde. A remake of the famed Argentinean telenovela Rebelde Way. He played Diego Bustamante, a student in the fictitious "Elite Way School", with dreams of becoming a musician. The show ran from 2004 - 2006, totaling 440 episodes.

Following the success of Rebelde, in 2007, Televisa released RBD: La Familia, which starred the members of RBD. The sitcom was based on the fictional lives of the members of RBD. The characters of the sitcom were not based on the band's characters in Rebelde, but intended to be similar to the actors' real personalities. RBD: La Familia was the first Mexican show shot entirely in High Definition. The show ran from March 14, 2007 – June 13, 2007, and only lasted 13 episodes.

He is currently set to produce and star in a movie called 1985, based on the 1985 Mexico City earthquake.[2]
