Early life and career

Colombo made his television debut in the 1992 Televisa soap opera El abuelo y yo, co-starring Ludwika Paleta and Gael García Bernal, and made his film debut the same year with a performance in Sonata de luna.

Colombo then co-starred with Angélica María in the 1994 soap opera Agujetas de color de rosa, which was successful across Latin America and among Hispanic audiences in the United States. He appeared as Carlitos in the 1995 film Cilantro y perejil, and in 1996 had a role in an episode of Mujer, casos de la vida real, a show hosted by Silvia Pinal. In 1999 he acted alongside Anahí in the 1999 tele-novella Ángeles sin paraíso.

In 1998 Colombo captured the role of Julio in the Mexican version of Chiquititas, originally from Argentina. After the Mexican version flopped, Chiquititas author Cris Morena decided to give him a role in the original version, where he soon became one of the most popular actors. Participating at Chiquititas, Colombo worked for the first time alongside Benjamín Rojas, Luisana Lopilato and Camila Bordonaba, who would later on become part of another one of Colombo's most important moments as an entertainer.

The film was based on their Rebelde Way characters: Manuel, Pablo, Mía and Marizza. The band split up soon after the release of their film and final album.
