Juan Pablo Gamboa
Juan Pablo Gamboa (born November 24, 1966) is a Colombian actor. He was born in Cali. The second of four children, Juan Pablo Gamboa Cook was raised in a bi-cultural, bilingual household due to his mother, Sandra Cook - originally from Boston who went to Colombia with the Peace Corps and his colombian father, Andrés Gamboa Ruiz.[1] The Gamboa family from Cali, Colombia, traces its ancestry to the Colombian poet Isaias Gamboa (1872-1904) and more than 30 poets, writers, artists and educators, spanning more than five generations.[2]
He appeared mainly in Mexican Telenovelas including Esmeralda, La usurpadora,[3] Carita de Ángel, La intrusa.
Gamboa studied communications in Hofstra University in New York.[citation needed] His portrayal of Willy in La usurpadora gave him his first TVyNovelas Award nomination for best male antagonist.
He has four children, Santiago and Mariana from his first wife Viviana Escobar and Juan Martin and another son with his second wife.[4][5]
