Luis Gerardo Méndez is a Mexican actor, producer and director, born in Aguascalientes on 12 March 1982. His career spans Mexican cinema, television and stage productions.
Before becoming a screen actor, he worked as a radio host. His early acting credits included television and theatre, and he appeared in the film Santos Peregrinos in 2004.
A major turning point came with Nosotros los Nobles (2013), in which he played Javi Noble. The Mexican comedy introduced him to a much larger audience; he later described the sudden visibility that followed as a difficult adjustment.
In Club de Cuervos, he played Chava Iglesias in a story about a family contesting control of a football club. He also served as an executive producer on the Spanish-language Netflix series. Later he portrayed police officer Víctor Tapia in Narcos: Mexico.
Méndez went on to star in and co-direct Technoboys (2024), a comedy about a former boy-band singer attempting a comeback. The titles linked on FLM.RED come from its own catalogue and are not a complete filmography.
