Ari Telch, a renowned Mexican actor, was born on May 7, 1962, to a Jewish family. He began his acting career with a notable role as a Jewish boy in the production of "El violinista en el tejado" (Fiddler on the Roof) alongside Manolo Fábregas.
Telch's subsequent stage appearances included "Yankee" in 1983, a production by Sabina Berman, who, like him, had Jewish heritage. In 1986, he took on the role of a performer in "Barnum," a play centered around the life of one of the founders of the Barnum and Bailey circus, during which he showcased his skills by riding a two-meter-high monocycle.
In 1988, Telch secured a role in "Interés social," a play written by Luis Eduardo Reyes, who was awarded the National Theater Award for his work on the story. The following year, he appeared alongside Angélica Aragón in the production of "Loco amor," a Mexican adaptation of Sam Shepard's "Fool for Love."
