Eric Del Castillo, the eldest son of teacher Aurora Galván Valenzuela and firefighter Eduardo Del Castillo-Negrete Rivera, who tragically lost his life on the job. In his youth, he drifted between various pursuits, initially training to be a priest in a Mexican seminary for foreign missions in Mexico City, and later briefly attending medical school. He ultimately made the decision to pursue acting on his mother’s advice and enrolled in the Film Institute, theatre, and broadcasting of the National Association of actors (ANDA) in 1954.

His debut roles were in experimental theatre, starting in 1957 in the play “Réquiem para una monja.” Over the course of his almost sixty-year-long career, he has appeared in over forty plays. He later transitioned to the big screen, making his debut in the 1960 mystery thriller film “Verano violento” (“Violent Summer”). In the subsequent three years, he featured in over twenty film roles across different genres, including the comedy “Lastima de ropa” (1962) and the sci-fi horror “Rostro Infernal” (1963). He then shifted to the small screen, where he found his biggest success.

He made his telenovela debut in 1962 in “La herencia” and shortly after landed his first leading role in the telenovela “Lo Imperdonable” (1963) alongside Silvia Derbez. He went on to secure numerous roles, filming at least one telenovela per year. While he has portrayed his share of protagonists, he is most notable for his roles as an antagonist or supporting actor. He made a significant appearance in the popular telenovela “Maria la del Barrio” (1995-1996), starring alongside Thalia and Fernando Colunga, and had supporting roles in well-known telenovelas such as “Lazos del Amor” (1995-1996), “La Mentira” (1997), “Apuesta por un Amor” (2004-2005), and “Pasion” (2007-2008), among others. He also played the main antagonist in the new Televisa series “Tres Veces Ana” (2016), alongside Angelique Boyer and Sebastian Rulli. Despite being in his eighties, he continues to act.
