About
Emiliano Zurita is a Mexican actor, writer, producer and director, born in Mexico City on October 29, 1993. He is best known for his role as Felipe Quintanilla in the Telemundo series Señora Acero (2018–2019) and for his work behind the camera through Addiction House, the production company he co-founded with his brother Sebastián. His recent credits include the Netflix series No One Saw Us Leave (2025), in which he plays the kidnapping father, and the 2024 Zorro series.
Zurita moves easily between acting and producing, and he has built a reputation as a thoughtful, design-minded storyteller. He trained as an architect at the Pratt Institute before studying acting at Susan Batson Studios, and that dual background shows in his careful approach to scripts and character. On Instagram, where he has around 355,000 followers, he describes himself as an actor, producer, writer and director.
Early Life & Background
Emiliano Zurita grew up in Mexico City as the younger son of two of Mexican television's most recognized actors, Christian Bach and Humberto Zurita. The household was steeped in the entertainment world, but Emiliano initially charted a different path. He enrolled at the Pratt Institute in New York to study architecture, a field that taught him to think about structure, space and design. He has said that this training still shapes how he reads a script, looking for the architecture of a story before he steps into a role.
After completing his studies, Zurita turned to acting seriously. He trained at Susan Batson Studios under James E. Lee and Susan Batson, a rigorous program known for its emphasis on emotional truth and character work. That combination of design thinking and intensive acting technique prepared him for the screen. Before his breakout, he took small steps in the industry, learning the rhythms of production and performance. The years in New York also left him fluent in both Spanish and English, a practical asset once he began auditioning on both sides of the border.
Career Growth
Emiliano Zurita's breakthrough came in 2018 when he was cast as Felipe Quintanilla in the Telemundo series Señora Acero, a role he played through 2019. The show gave him widespread exposure across Spanish-language television. He followed that with film roles, including a part in Dance of the Forty One (2020), a historical drama about a real-life raid on a Mexico City society ball in 1901, in which he appears alongside Alfonso Herrera, and El mesero (2021).
Behind the camera, Zurita and his brother Sebastián created the Amazon Prime Video comedy How to Survive Being Single (2020), on which Emiliano served as writer and producer. The series, which stars Sebastián, became one of Addiction House's flagship projects. In 2024, Emiliano appeared in the Zorro series, and in 2025 he took on a dramatic role in the Netflix series No One Saw Us Leave, a dramatization of a real kidnapping within Mexico's Jewish community. That same year he also appeared in the film Rock, Weed and Wheels. He continues to produce through Addiction House and remains active on both sides of the camera.

iFANN Editorial Team estimate
Emiliano Zurita's earnings come primarily from acting roles and production work. His television and film appearances, including Señora Acero, Dance of the Forty One and No One Saw Us Leave, provide income, while his work as a writer and producer through Addiction House adds another stream. The company's projects, such as How to Survive Being Single, have been distributed by Amazon Prime Video, giving the brothers a stake in a title with international reach. Public net-worth aggregators do not list a figure for him, and no credible estimate exists in the available sources, so any specific number would be speculation. What can be said is that his income rests on two legs, performance and production, and that the Netflix and Amazon credits of the mid-2020s have widened both. As his career continues to expand, particularly with high-profile streaming projects, his earnings are likely to increase.
