Alejandro Chaban has the distinction of being able to work in two
separate markets, speaking to two diverse audiences in two different
languages. Alejandro is the executive producer of his own talk show
"Yes You Can With Chaban" in YouTube's channel "NuevOn". Recently, he
was named an official HealthCorps Ambassador by Dr. Oz to help fight
against child obesity.
He's been able to shift between roles out of English speaking Hollywood
and then back to his Latin roots on Spanish shows. He has taken part on
the hit CBS series "The Mentalist." He also starred in Univision's
number 1 prime time telenovela "Eva Luna", and he was part of the cast
of the popular prime time Spanish telenovela "El Rostro de Analia."
Prior to that he starred opposite Lily Tomlin and Leslie Jordan on the
HBO Series, "12 Miles of Bad Road", which was written by Linda
Bloodworth-Thomason.
Alejandro released his first book entitled 'De Gordo a Galan' (From
Fatty to Hottie) which chronicled his life as an obese child/teenager
into his adult years and his transformation to how he got into great
shape. The book was a huge success in many Latin markets in North and
South America.
Alejandro is considered a true international actor, having schooled in
Venezuela and Los Angeles. He landed his first major role on the
Spanish TV series, "Viva La Pepa". He received praise for his work on
the play "Las Alegres Cantares". Alejandro later starred in "Amor en
Concreto", a film directed by the Polish-Venezuelan director Franco de
Pena. He stepped into the international limelight while on the
Venevision International show "Engañada". Alejandro's name was
furthered by his involvement with the productions of "Prisionera", "La
Ley de Silencio" , "Decisiones", "El Rostro de Analía" and recently in
Univision's #1 telenovela "Eva Luna", his participation on this last
one took him to join the lines of the prime time hit show "Mira Quien
Baila", in which Alejandro danced in support of First Lady Michelle
Obama's "Let's Move" Foundation and his increasing popularity got him
to produce his own segment "De Gordo a Galan" for the morning show
Despierta America which airs weekly in Univision.
Alejandro landed several Hollywood roles, including a part in "The
Notorious Bettie Page" where he worked alongside actress Gretchen Moll
and director Mary Harron. His exceptional work in this film lead to a
guest role on the USA hit TV series "Monk" and supporting roles in the
films "The Perfect Game" and "Reservations".
