Demián Bichir Nájera is a Mexican film and television actor who is better known as Demian Bichir in the US. His parents are Maricruz Nájera and Alejandro Bichir – both of them are actors. His brothers Bruno and Odiseo Bichir are actors too. But none of them has made the kind of name as Demian has done. His wealth has also grown exponentially with his fame. The estimated net worth of Demian Bichir as of March 2012 is $2 Million.
Coming from a family where everybody is an actor, it is not surprising that Demian started performing from his early teens. He appeared for the telenovela “Rina”, and then did one more, “Vivir Enamorada”. He started appearing in movies in the beginning of the 1980’s with “Choices of the Heart”, an American production. From then onwards, Buchir has performed both in television shows and films. His wealth comes from both the sources as he keeps shifting his interests. Demian has been performing and making money from both Mexican and American productions.
His television shows include “Nada Personal”, “El Rincon de los Prodigios”, and also in “Weeds” (between season four and six). His films include “Cilantro y Perejil”, “La Vida Conyugal”, “Luces de la Noche “, “In the Time of the Butterflies”, “A Better Life”, and “Che”. Demian has received the Best Actor Oscar nomination for “A Better Life” along with Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Gary Oldman and Jean Dujardin. Anthony Quinn is the only other Mexican male actor who has received this nomination.
