John Osorio
BY Alejandro Feregrino-. Currently, Juan Osorio is one of the most influential producers on Mexican television. In his career, he has been responsible for more than 30 telenovelas, including some of the most important productions in recent years on Televisa, such as “A lucky family”, “My heart is yours” and “My husband has family”.
But what few know is that, before succeeding behind the scenes, Osorio had a brief acting career.
“At one point in my life what I aspired to was to be an actor, I wanted to be an actor and I wanted to be a leading man in soap operas. For obvious reasons, it didn’t happen, ”Osorio said with a laugh as he pointed to himself, during an interview with Jesse Cervantes.
His first contacts with the world of entertainment began in 1972, in productions such as ‘Res judicata’, ‘The curse of the lace’ and ‘The building across the street’.
“Back then, the prototypes of the leading men had nothing to do with my physique. And this is the first shock I had with reality and with this race”.
“I did not go beyond making small characters and I was desperate. Then, one day someone who knew about this business told me: ‘you are on the wrong path, why don’t you go into production’”.
His first answer was a resounding ‘no’. “I said ‘how to production? if I want to be a heartthrob,’” she recalled.
But that person sowed that idea in him as a seed that soon germinated.
“I was never obsessive with something that was not given. I started watching the production and at that moment I realized that I liked it”.
So he began a long journey from the first links in the chain: he was a fishbowl, a props assistant, a continuationist, a production assistant and a production manager.
At first it was not easy, because the salary was not enough and, along with his work within the production, he helped the actors with their costumes and their scripts, in exchange for some money.
“I had to go to study and I didn’t have a continuous job. So I completed my work assisting the actors, me in my scripts”.

Finally, the opportunities began to arrive, as production manager of “Toda una vida”, “Gabriel y Gabriela”, “Un solo corazón” and “La pasión de Isabela”.
After producing and working on television, radio and plays, Juan Osorio is clear that, in life, he who does not risk does not win.
“You should not limit yourself, everything that comes to mind do it, carry it out, the most that can happen is that one day you are right and another day you are not, however, learn to live with your mistakes and your setbacks so that you become stronger and every day you are a better human being”.
