Hailed in recent U.S. media reviews as a “charismatic… handsome… musically and comically gifted heartthrob… with movie-star charm,” Jaime Camil is already one of the most well-known and in-demand Latin actors in the world - his previous primetime starring series attracted over 4.3 MILLION daily viewers in The United States alone and over 400 Million worldwide. After a special cameo appearance that delivered a 35% ratings spike on “Devious Maids”, Jaime Camil also recently made the jump to Feature Film Leadwith his critically-praised performance in the Pantelion Films/Lionsgate bilingual comedy “Pulling Strings”. Camil’s starring role lead the film to an impressive “A+”Cinemascore and delivered the industry’s second-highest per-screen average of its debut week: trailing ONLY George Clooney & Sandra Bullock in “Gravity,” while more than tripling the Justin Timberlake & Ben Affleck project “Runner Runner”. Although only released in November, “Pulling Strings” quickly became the third highest-grossing Foreign Language film of 2013 in the United States, and has sold over 2.2 million tickets already in Mexico.
Now, while in the midst of planning his next film role, Jaime Camil is satisfying fan demand with an eagerly awaited return to primetime television via a starring role in the new short-term series “Qué Pobres Tan Ricos." Having debuted in mid-November on Televisa, the show has quickly become a ratings smash across Mexico with episode numbers consistently hitting up to 23+ point ratings and a 46 share. While most Spanish language melodramas produced by Televisa do not begin a U.S. broadcast run until well after the series conclusion in Mexico, the excitement generated by “Qué Pobres Tan Ricos" has lead Univision to fast-track the start of the comedic drama’s U.S. broadcast run. So, look for Jaime Camil and “Qué Pobres Tan Ricos” to now air every weeknight at 10pm ET/PT.
