Ricardo has a younger brother named Lucius Hoyos who is an actor and a musician, known for his roles in the “Heroes Reborn” and “Between” TV series, and the “Bark Ranger” film all shot in 2015. Ricardo began watching movies and TV series with his friends from school eventually deciding to become an actor which is something his parents supported as they enrolled him into an acting school. He started appearing in local commercials, and when he started doing worse at school, his parents threatened not to let him act unless he improved his grades.

After matriculation, he focused on acting and didn’t enroll at college.

Career as an actor

Ricardo made his debut TV series appearance in “The Jon Dore Television Show”, appearing in 10 episodes from 2007 to 2009. He attended the audition without much hope of winning the role, however, he was chosen from among many, and went on to appear in more episodes than he was initially meant to. He made his debut movie appearance in 2008 portraying Jacob in “Toronto Stories”, and then in 2010 appeared in the “Butterfly” episode of the “Haven” TV series.

The role which helped him gain recognition was as Ricardo Sanchez in the “Dino Dan” TV series, which follows a young boy with a love for dinosaurs who goes on adventures – Ricardo appeared in 16 episodes in 2010 and 2011, and was then invited to portray Zig Novak in “Degrassi: The Next Generation”, appearing in 70 episodes between 2012 and 2015. The role made him famous, and many new offers followed, such as a role in the “Life with Boys” TV series and “Degrassi: Next Class”, appearing in 35 episodes of the first four seasons.
