Alfonso “Poncho” Herrera Rodríguez (born Alfonso Herrera Rodríguez on August 28, 1983) is a Mexican actor and member of the music group RBD. Alfonso Herrera was born in Mexico City. He attended the prestegious Edron Academy, alongside Gael Garcia Bernal and Ximena Sariñana and graduated in 2002. Herrera originally wanted to become a pilot and was going to move to San Antonio, Texas to enroll in an aviation school. He changed his mind and decided to enroll at the Centro de Educación Artística run by Latin American media giant Televisa. The success of the series “Rebelde” launched RBD. To date RBD has made 9 studio albums, including albums in Spanish, Portuguese and English. They have sold over 15 million albums worldwide, and have toured across Mexico, South America, Serbia, Romania, the United States, Puerto Rico and Spain. On August 15, 2008, RBD released a message telling fans that they had decided to split up. They went on one final tour, “Gira Del Adios World Tour” which ended in early 2009. In a November 2008 interview with Open Magazine, Herrera said he has no intention of having a solo singing career after RBD and that he does not see himself as a singer. |
