Biography                                                              

Christopher Alexander Luis Casillas Von Uckermann was born in Mexico City to a Mexican
father and a Swedish mother. He started his acting career when he was just 2 years old in TV
commercials.[1] In 1999 he was cast for a role in El diario de Daniela a successful
children's telenovela. He then starred in Amigos X Siempre in 2000. In 2001 he acted and
wrote the theme song for the telenovela Aventuras en el tiempo (2001).

His most important role came in 2004 with the telenovela Rebelde, where he played Diego
Bustamante, a student in the fictitious "Elite Way School", with dreams of becoming a
musician. The success of this production was such that it is still in production and the
vocal group RBD spun off from the television series. He has recorded many albums with RBD
selling millions of records and toured with the group across Mexico, various South American
countries (including Portuguese speaking Brazil), the United States, and Spain. Although the
band started off completely in Spanish, their success has prompted them to record albums in
Portuguese and English.

In 2005 he started his own company (with four of his best friends) of distribution of the
Romanian-made cylindrical pendants, called "Ferbuss Fashion", which he and his friends wear
in Rebelde.

Besides designing and singing Christopher has also widened his artistic aspirations and has
begun composing music. He is currently in the works with Pedro Damian to make one of his
compositions the theme for a new project by Damian.

Ucker also wrote a song just like his other members of RBD, Dulce and Maite.Sueles Volver
(Coming Back) is the name of the song the Ucker wrote.

Besides acting and singing, "Ucker" as his friends call him, is proficient in Extreme
Skateboarding winning various national competitions and is also a notable drum player. There
have been rumors of a new line of clothing to debut this year by Christopher, but there
currently have not been any updates.

He is now touring with RBD and filming the sitcom RBD: La Familia which debuted on March 14,
2007 on the SKY cable network in Mexico.

He is known as 'el bebe' (the baby) of RBD and to his mom he is "Ratoncito" little rat . He
shares a strong relationship with the rest of the members of RBD and considers them his
family. It is noticed in footage and photographs his admiration towards Alfonso. Both are
seen to have a great bond as other 'older brother/younger brother' relationships do.Ucker

'REBELDE'.Coinsidense is Dulce also broke up with Poncho almost at the same time as Ucker
and Anahi. Today rumors of Christopher and Dulce are going on seeing that in almost every
occasion this two are seen in very compromising situations, also they have been seen
flirting in various occasions during shows they appear on.
