Raul Mendez is considered by many in Mexico as one of the best actors of his generation. Classically trained, he is often referred to as a chameleon, working steadily in film, television and theater.

In Oct 2014, he worked on two Netflix Original Series, taking on totally different characters; An unstable antagonist, Joaquin, on “Sense8” under the direction of James McTeigue and directed & produced by Lana and Andy Wachowski, and President César Gaviria, on “Narcos” produced by José Padilha and Chris Brancato, with multiple directors including fellow Mexican, Oscar winner Guillermo Navarro.

He recently wrapped Texas Rising, playing the role of Juan Seguin, directed by Roland Joffé, and produced by the same team of “Hatfields and McCoys,” scheduled to air on the History Channel May 2015.

Raul has worked on many television series in Mexico including “El Señor de los Cielos” Parts 1 & 2, which aired in the U.S. on NBC/Telemundo.
