Demián Bichir was born on August 1, 1963, in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico, but grew up in the vibrant cultural heart of Mexico City, in a family where acting ran deep in the blood. His father, Alejandro Bichir, his mother, Maricruz Nájera, and his brothers, Odiseo and Bruno, are all actors. So it’s no surprise that Demián stepped onto a stage almost before he stepped onto a soccer field.
