From the City of Hope Hospital in Los Angeles where

he is undergoing treatment,

the actor has drawn strength from his weakness so that his

Instagram users

are aware of an

important reflection.

It's as simple as it is powerful: "Many of these messages offer help. And this is the message from my doctors: if you want to help,

become a marrow donor.

The process of donating bone marrow and stem cells is simple. There are many misconceptions about "donating bone marrow and stem cells, especially that it is burdensome or painful. But thanks to advances in technology

the donation process is much simpler

than before."

In addition, he comments that

"millions of people

are already included in the international registry, which allows 90% of patients in need of a bone marrow transplant to find

a compatible donor.

The more people who register, the greater the chances of finding compatibility for everyone." those who need it." To do this, he emphasizes two of the links of the

Josep Carreras Foundation

that the tenor created in 1987 after surviving leukemia.

In addition to being

a television, film and theater

actor , he is also a theater

director and set designer

. His high point came in 2012 when his work

From him Un parte invisible de este mundo

starring Juan Diego Botto earned him a

nomination for best

stage direction and another for best set design at the Max Awards. Internationally, as a performer, he has appeared in
