Carlos Torres Torrija and Luis Felipe Tovar. Torrija was the one who gave him the necessary impetus for the young man to embrace this profession. His training as an actor took place during his studies for a degree in Communication and Journalism at the Faculty of Higher Studies of Aragón, belonging to the UNAM, at times working as a cameraman before having real alternatives as an actor.
In 2014 his family had to leave the house where they grew up in Ecatepec due to the extreme violence that the area where they lived their entire lives presented.

Tenoch as “Namor”
The arrival of Tenoch Huerta in the history of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever to play this character that has a story of its own.
At first Namor was thought of as a hero within the Marvel comics, although over time his ambivalence between good or evil has been present, all with the purpose of safeguarding the seas and Atlantis.
In 1962 in volume 14 of the Fantastic four, Namor had a fight with the quartet of superheroes. After this disagreement, this character would become an ally for the scientists.
At one point he gets to join the Avengers and show up with the X-Men.
Although he has gone from side to side having episodes as a famous antihero with whom he would fight head-on against Marvel villains like Magneto and Dr. Doom.
For the new Marvel tape, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, his interpretation will have references to Mesoamerican cultures, such as the Mexica, the adaptation for Tenoch will wear a plume.
