José María Yazpik, a renowned Mexican film and television actor, was born on November 13, 1970, in Mexico City, Mexico. He hails from a wealthy family, being the son of Dr. Jose Maria Meza, a successful gynecologist, and Cristina Yazpik.
Yazpik's entry into the acting world was facilitated by a friend of his father, who produced the TV movie "The Brute with the Angel of Death". He subsequently relocated to Mexico City to pursue his passion for acting at the CEA of Televisa, where he had the privilege of studying alongside future celebrities such as Arath de la Torre, Fabián Corres, and Eduardo Rill.
Upon completing his studies, Yazpik was offered minor roles in youth soap operas on Televisa, which he initially wanted to decline. However, due to the exclusive contract he had signed with the station, he was forced to accept all the roles he was offered, and was subsequently punished with a two-month pay cut.
Yazpik's breakthrough in television came in 1995 when he landed his first major role in the soap opera "The Dove", produced by José Rendón. Unfortunately, the production was halted due to the tragic death of its protagonist, actor Gerardo Hemmer. The following year, he participated in his second telenovela, "Song of Love", produced by Luis de Llano Macedo, and the film "Última llamada", directed by Carlos Garcia Agraz.
In 1997, Yazpik's career began to gain momentum, with television roles becoming increasingly important. He played the villainous role of a youth in the telenovelas "Pueblo chico, infierno grande" and "Ángela", both produced by José Alberto Castro.
