biography:
Demián Bichir Nájera, 1 Ağustos 1963 tarihinde Meksiko, Meksika'da dünyaya gelmiştir. Tiyatro yönetmeni Alejandro Bichir ve aktris Maricruz Nájera'nın oğlu olan Demián, kendisi gibi oyuncu olan Odiseo ve Bruno adında iki kardeşe sahiptir; bu durum onları Meksika'nın en tanınmış sanatçı ailelerinden biri olan "Bichir Hanedanı"nın bir parçası yapmaktadır. Kariyerine genç yaşta Meksika'da tiyatro ve televizyon yapımlarıyla başlayan Bichir, özellikle Ulusal Tiyatro Topluluğu ile Shakespeare oyunlarında sahne alarak yeteneğini geliştirdi. Sinemadaki ilk büyük çıkışını, Meksika tarihinin karanlık bir dönemini anlatan "Rojo Amanecer" (1989) filmiyle yaptı. 1990'lar boyunca "Hasta morir" (1994) ile En İyi Erkek Oyuncu dalında Ariel Ödülü kazandı ve gişe rekorları kıran "Sexo, pudor y lágrimas" (1999) gibi yapımlarla ülkesinde tartışmasız bir yıldız haline geldi.

ABD'ye taşınarak kariyerini uluslararası arenaya taşıyan Bichir, Salma Hayek ile birlikte rol aldığı "Kelebekler Zamanı" (In the Time of the Butterflies) (2001) filmiyle dikkat çekti. Ancak asıl tanınırlığını, Steven Soderbergh'in yönettiği biyografik film "Che"de (2008) canlandırdığı Fidel Castro rolü ve popüler kara mizah dizisi "Weeds"te (2008-2010) oynadığı uyuşturucu baronu ve politikacı Esteban Reyes karakteriyle gerçekleştirdi.

Bichir'in kariyerindeki en büyük dönüm noktası ve Hollywood'daki yerini sağlamlaştıran proje, Chris Weitz'in yönettiği bağımsız drama "Daha İyi Bir Hayat" (A Better Life) (2011) filmi oldu. Oğlu için daha iyi bir gelecek kurmaya çalışan göçmen bir bahçıvanı canlandırdığı bu filmdeki derinlikli ve dokunaklı performansı, ona En İyi Erkek Oyuncu dalında Oscar adaylığı getirdi. Bu başarı, Anthony Quinn'den sonra bu kategoride aday gösterilen ikinci Meksikalı aktör olmasını sağladı.

Bu prestijli adaylığın ardından Hollywood'un büyük bütçeli yapımlarında aranan bir yüz haline geldi. Quentin Tarantino'nun "The Hateful Eight" (2015) filminde Bob karakteriyle kendine has bir performans sergiledi. Bilimkurgu ve korku türlerine de adım atarak Ridley Scott'ın "Alien: Covenant" (2017) filminde ve "Korku Seansı" evreninin parçası olan "Dehşetin Yüzü"nde (The Nun) (2018) Peder Burke rolüyle yer aldı. Televizyon tarafında ise Diane Kruger ile başrolü paylaştığı suç draması "The Bridge" (2013-2014) ile başarısını sürdürdü. Son yıllarda George Clooney'nin yönettiği "The Midnight Sky" (2020), dev bütçeli "Godzilla vs. Kong" (2021) ve "Let the Right One In" (2022) dizisi gibi projelerde boy gösteren Bichir, hem bağımsız sinemada hem de blockbuster filmlerdeki çok yönlülüğüyle uluslararası sinemanın saygın aktörlerinden biri olarak kabul edilmektedir.
