Saúl Lisazo is back in view at 70, still carrying the silver-haired, elegant look that made him one of the most recognizable leading men on Mexican television. The actor from Argentina now appears in a more mature stage of life, but the image that first made him familiar to viewers has not disappeared.
That is why his name is drawing attention again today: people who remember his telenovela years are seeing what he looks like now and learning that he remains active. Lisazo became a familiar face in the 1990s and 2000s with roles in Amor de nadie, Acapulco, cuerpo y alma, Por tu amor and Tierra de pasiones, and he is still exploring new professional projects.
His path to television was not the one he first planned. Born on 1 June 1956 in Los Toldos, Buenos Aires, Argentina, he spent his youth playing professional soccer for Club Atlético Sarmiento, Atlanta and other clubs before a knee injury ended that route. He later moved into modeling, arrived in Mexico in 1990 and began his television career there with Amor de nadie.
What makes his present-day image notable is that it comes with a clear contradiction from his own career history. Lisazo had been away from television sets for periods, yet he never fully stopped acting. He has kept moving between artistic work and personal and business activities, which helps explain why he can seem less visible without ever really leaving the field.
So the answer to the question around his current work is simpler than it first appears: Lisazo is not starting over, but continuing. He remains active, still taking on projects, and the open question is not whether he is finished, but which role or venture will next define this later chapter of a career that began with soccer, shifted through modeling and found its audience on TV.
