Arturo Peniche

Arturo Peniche (born Arturo Delgadillo Peniche on May 17, 1962) is a Mexican telenovela actor who gained popularity in Latin America during the 1990s. He is the brother of actor Flavio Peniche, who appeared in the telenovela La Traición.

During this period, Peniche appeared in several commercials, an experience that later helped him secure leading roles in Televisa's telenovelas. One commercial, in which he sold bracelets said to have special powers, made him somewhat famous in Puerto Rico and other parts of Latin America.

His breakthrough came in 1990 when he filmed the telenovela Emperatriz in Venezuela and later starred in María María, his only leading role in a Venezuelan soap opera.
