The Journey of Bonifacio Jaimez

My name is Bonifacio Jaimez, I was born on May 14, 1960 in La Escondida, Municipality of Coyuca De Catalan Guerrero, a small place in the mountains where there was no school, no road or communication. I am the first child of 11 siblings, my parents with very low resources but with great heart and humility guided us on the right path and when things got complicated in the mountains my parents took us to more populated communities (Pinzan Morado) where we began to study Of course, I was only able to study until the 5th grade of primary school and I started working because my parents worked hard to ensure that tortillas were enough for everyone, then we moved to Cd. Altamirano. At 18 years old I joined the Mexican Army and I liked it a lot. At 21 years old (1981) I immigrated to the United States with a lot of sacrifice and without knowing anyone and without knowing where to go, but I crossed over and with luck got a job on a ranch fishing. vegetables for 3 years, then I moved to Los Angeles, for 15 years I worked in sewing and at the same time I practiced drums and played in various groups for 12 years, now 16 years driving a Taxi in Fresno, California. My family comes first, my favorite entertainment is soccer and watching Mexican movies and I have always admired many actors such as El Turco, El Judicial, Los Almadas and many more. In February 2016 I was presented with the opportunity to act in a movie “Los Fuereños” from Tecate Films, next to the Actor Alfredo Gutierres “EL TURCO”, as much as I like the movies, I put so much desire, heart and effort into it that the movie was classified as a success by Mexican Cinema and well, thanks to everyone's support I am still acting, to date I have participated in 20 films, 15 of which the Mexican Cinema Channel already has and on YouTube some have several million views, I am happy to achieve something that I did not expect in my life and I am still here with the support of my wife of my children of my families and of all of you. I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST BLESSINGS ALWAYS. Here is your forever friend. Bonifacio Jaimez (El Guerrerense).
