Ever since then things unfold rapidly for the young actor. He appeared in several top rating TV series and acclaimed films, including “Prisionera,” “Decisiones,” “12 Miles of Bad Road,” “The Perfect Game,” and “Reservations”. His English credits include “The Notorious Bettie Page” and a guest starring role on “Monk”.

Besides having a great talent for acting, Chaban has a wonderful body that he maintains — combining the gym and dancing salsa with practicing the sports that he loves: kickboxing and swimming.

In 2003, Chaban made his movie debut in a leading role in Franco de Pena’s award-winning film “Amor en concreto.” His performance in the film as a rebellious son who discovers the seamy street life of the drag queens after being disowned by a conservative father won him the “Golden Egret” as Best Actor in 2004.

Alejandro Chaban has the distinction of being able to work in two separate markets, speaking to two diverse audiences in two different languages. Alejandro is the executive producer of his own talk show "Yes You Can With Chaban" in YouTube's channel "NuevOn". Recently, he was named an official HealthCorps Ambassador by Dr. Oz to help fight against child obesity.

He's been able to shift between roles out of English speaking Hollywood and then back to his Latin roots on Spanish shows. He has taken part on the hit CBS series "The Mentalist." He also starred in Univision's number 1 prime time telenovela "Eva Luna", and he was part of the cast of the popular prime time Spanish telenovela "El Rostro de Analia." Prior to that he starred opposite Lily Tomlin and Leslie Jordan on the HBO Series, "12 Miles of Bad Road", which was written by Linda Bloodworth-Thomason.

Alejandro released his first book entitled 'De Gordo a Galan' (From Fatty to Hottie) which chronicled his life as an obese child/teenager into his adult years and his transformation to how he got into great shape. The book was a huge success in many Latin markets in North and South America.

Alejandro is considered a true international actor, having schooled in Venezuela and Los Angeles. He landed his first major role on the Spanish TV series, "Viva La Pepa". He received praise for his work on the play "Las Alegres Cantares". Alejandro later starred in "Amor en Concreto", a film directed by the Polish-Venezuelan director Franco de Pena. He stepped into the international limelight while on the Venevision International show "Engañada". Alejandro's name was furthered by his involvement with the productions of "Prisionera", "La Ley de Silencio" , "Decisiones", "El Rostro de Analía" and recently in Univision's #1 telenovela "Eva Luna", his participation on this last one took him to join the lines of the prime time hit show "Mira Quien Baila", in which Alejandro danced in support of First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" Foundation and his increasing popularity got him to produce his own segment "De Gordo a Galan" for the morning show Despierta America which airs weekly in Univision.
