Hijo de un hombre de negocios y una pintora, desde muy pequeño tuvo inquietudes artísticas participando siempre en grupos de teatro local pero fue hasta que cumplió 16 años que decidió dedicarse a la actuación de forma profesional.

En Los Ángeles las cosas para Mauricio fueron como para cualquier otro que llega con la intención de ser actor. Mauricio tuvo que sustentar sus estudios en el Joanne Baron Studio de Santa Monica trabajando como camarero y al mismo tiempo se dio a la tarea de buscar un agente en esa ciudad. Al cabo de tres años de estar buscando oportunidades, llegó por fin la primera película para Mauricio, misma en la que tuvo una participación pequeña pero le dio la oportunidad de trabajar al lado de figuras de la talla de Kevin Costner, Paul Newman y Robin Wright.

Bio (EN)

Mauricio Ochmann Siordia (born November 16, 1977 in Celaya, Guanajuato) is a Mexican actor best known for his roles in telenovelas. He also appeared in Kevin Costner's film Message in a Bottle, the TV series That's life and Latino Green. He appeared as Fabián Duque in Telemundo's Dame Chocolate. He is currently appearing as Jerónimo Ernesto Acosta in Telemundo's hit Victoria.

Mauricio Ochmann is the son of a painter and a businessman; as a child he joined local theater companies. At the age of 16 he participated in the Héctor Suárez TV comedy show La otra cosa for two years. At the age of 19 he moved to Los Angeles, California to study at the Joanne Baron Studio in Santa Monica. After three years of castings he obtained a small role in Message in a Bottle and then in the TV series Latino Green. After the series he was invited to participate in the telenovela La casa en la playa with Televisa, he instead joined TV Azteca in the telenovela Azul Tequila co-starring with Bárbara Mori. After participating in another production of TV Azteca he obtained the starring role in the play Equus for which he received a Best New Stage Actor by Mexico's National Association of Theater Critic). After more than 1,6000 presentations he returned to Los Angeles to participate in the show That's Life and then back to Mexico to co-star with Lorena Rojas in Como en el cine ("Like in the movies"), a very successful telenovela. In 2003, he returned to film with Ladies' Night and in 2004 with 7 mujeres, 1 homosexual y Carlos. The same year he also obtained the role of Benjamin Braddock in the Mexican production of The Graduate. In 2005 he made three films, the last one being Corazón marchito.

Recently in a 2007 interview on a Spanish talk show Ochmann revealed his addiction with the drug cocaine and how he was at death's door. He was asked: ¿cuándo comenzaste a consumir drogas? (When did you first start taking drugs?) Desde niño, cuando por primera vez probé el alcohol, y no por su sabor, sino por evadirme de la realidad. Los narcóticos llegaron más tarde. (Since childhood, when I for the first time tried alcohol but not for the taste but instead to escape from reality. The narcotics came along much later.)

He also acknowledges God throughout his ordeal with drugs stating "Fortunately, God took me by the hand and has given me the opportunity to continue ahead." Referring to his time in rehab Ochmann expressed that "I felt as though I had arrived at the house of God, to a safe refuge. To me it was like a re-birth." Ultimately he stayed in rehab for only a month as his recovery was quick. This is my person
