To act and to live has been one for Ariel since very early age: her mother tells that from the cradle he already expressed his character in a very particular way. When a child, countless are the family anecdotes where Ariel displayed his gift taking you from laughter with diverse jokes, imitations, funny remark, as well as trying to manipulate you with a tear or two. Dunia Zaldívar, his aunt and who already counted with some years as an actress, shared with him acting techniques, selected literature, examples and other guides that introduced him formally and with a lot of affection to this art.
As expected, he decided to study career of performace arts having no opposition from any family member given his natural ability. Formally Ariel studied the actor career at the Universidad de Guadalajara, Bellas Artes and Casa de la Cultura de Jalisco as well as multiple workshops that were organized. He participated in several productions where he quickly distinguished, especially in comic papers. Actually, his great sense of humor has always been very remarkable in his personal treatment with family members and friends. |

Theater
Theater has been and will be his first house, the one that taught him his bases, his “tablas” as he calls them and have always come along with him. He had the fortune of learning from the best, to participate in their projects and to honor them on his day by day. At present time Ariel has also been devoted to return something of this experience through formal instruction without consider himself a Teacher like those that once he had.

Television
In his last facet as a dancer in Cats Mexico the musical, Ariel saw the opportunity to return to acting, this time to the TV screen. He enrolled to Televisa’s Centro de Educación Artística (CEA -Center of Artistic Education, also called the Star System) where as expected he quickly highlighted winning his the friendship and respect of his teachers and fellows. He was discovered by Mr. Eugenio Cobo principal of CEA, allowing him to have his first sporadic but constant appearances in multiple TV shows and eventually to take his first main papers in soap operas like “La Pícara Soñadora” (Dir. Raquel Parot, Prod. Valentin Pimstein) y “De Frente Al Sol” (Dir. Miguel Corcega, Prod. Carla Estrada).
His jump to the fame definitively made it with the soap opera Corazón Salvaje, the third adaptation to the TV screen of the novel written by Caridad Bravo Adams, directed by Alberto Cortez and produced by José Rendón. This adaptation had the luck of capturing the pleasure and popularity of the TV viewers who had the fortune of seeing the acting of Edith González, the deceased Eduardo Palomo and Ana Colchero in a production where Alberto Cortez made gala of an unprecedented visual language using all his experience as a cinema director. After this super production other followed where he distinguishes in leading roles as well as antagonist ones, allowing him a broader variety of acting nuances for the projection of his work.
At present time he lives in the city of Miami, Florida, United States and has been invited to collaborate in productions with international projection for the audience of Latin America.
