Andrés García (born May 24, 1941) is a Mexican-Dominican actor. He is one of the most popular and well known actors in Mexico and among Hispanics in the United States. He was a scuba diving instructor.
Born to Spanish parents, García was born and lived in the Dominican Republic during his childhood, he later moved to Mexico and would pursue a career in show business. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, he became a sex symbol in Mexico and the rest of Latin America, participating in movies, Spanish soap operas and photo-romance novels (magazine featuring photos of actors who create a story—a popular phenomenon across Latin America during the 1970s).
In 1984 García participated in Tú o nadie, with Lucía Mendez and Salvador Pineda. Tú o nadie became a major hit, and helped García to receive many international offers. He accepted an offer to go to Puerto Rico in 1986, where he acted in WAPA-TV soap operas: Amame, with Johanna Rosaly, and Escándalo, with Iris Chacón and Charytín. Escándalo, however, also flopped and the number of episodes recorded for that soap opera was cut in half by the television channel.
