Despite his good looks and his major in drama from Instituto Superior de Arte, Mr. Évora wanted to be on the other side of the camera and be a film director, so he took courses at ICAIC and studied for two years at Escuela Internacional de Cine y TV de San Antonio de los Baños. Still his drama skills prevailed and he developed a long acting career in Cuba and in Mexico, where he has lived for several years. Mr. Évora has also an exclusive contract with Univision Network.
