Early life

García-Rulfo was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. He grew up on a ranch in Jalisco, where he learned to ride horses.[3] At some point in his life he went to Vermont to study English.[4] He went to Universidad del Valle de Atemajac where he majored in communications before he realized his passion for filmmaking. He studied at the New York Film Academy, but decided to return to Mexico to continue his acting career.[5]

Career

He made his first major American film with Bless Me, Ultima, as Uncle Pedro.[6] In 2016, he played the outlaw Vasquez, one of the title characters, in The Magnificent Seven remake.
