He later acted in Victoria and El precio de la fama. In the telenovela Senda de gloria ("Glorious path") he took the role of a Dutch-English villain and the opportunity to speak Dutch and English.

The success of Senda de gloria allowed him to obtain a role in Chilean telenovela Semidios produced by Universidad Católica de Chile's Canal 13 where he also sang the title song. For the same channel he made Bravo and returned to Mexico a year later to participate in a new version of Simplemente María and in La pícara soñadora, both soaps became hits in Latin America, Europe, Turkey and Russia.

In 1997 he participated in a telenovela with Televisa and next year he made Enséñame a querer with Venevisión, the most important television network in Venezuela.

He was interviewed by Dutch network NCRV in February 1999 in a 25-minute presentation from his home in Chile. This interview was broadcast on May 11 of the same year through the network Nederland 1. The same year he made Por tu amor in Mexico and in 2000 he made Milagros in Peru. In 2002 and 2003 he made two telenovelas for Televisa and was awarded the Azteca de Oro ("Golden Aztec") as Best Actor for his role in Salomé by the Asociación de Periodistas Mexicanos de Radio y Televisión ("Mexican association of radio and television journalists").
