Mini-bio:
Becker's career as an artist began at an early age, although not as an actor
but as a musician. When he was six years old, he intended to become a
professional violinist. After obtaining a scholarsh...( read more)ip, he travelled to
Europe and began his studies in the famous Mozarteum of the city of
Salzburg, Austria, where he spent several years studying the violin.
At seventeen, however, Kuno made the decision to set aside his career as a
violinist, in order to pursue what he now considers his greater passion,
acting. He auditioned with more than 3,200 candidates, and was accepted as a
student at the Centro de Educación Artística (CEA) of Televisa.
At the age of nineteen, after two years of drama studies, he obtained his
first rôle in the telenovela Para Toda la Vida, with which he stayed for 120
episodes. He later participated in many other telenovelas and also in some
plays with Televisa. In only a few years and thanks to the Televisa's high
profile in Mexico, he has become one of the best-known young actors.
In the cinema he provided the voice of Cale in the Spanish-dubbing of the
film Titan A.E., and also appeared in the 1997 film La Primera Noche. In
2002 Becker starred in the film La hija del caníbal]] (Lucía, Lucía), and in
2005 he played the lead role of Santiago Munez for the film Goal!.
Becker has said that now he wishes to concentrate solely on his film career,
and is looking for new opportunities not only in Mexican films.
