Early life

Modeling career

He began modeling in Cancún when he was thirteen years old. In 2014, he earned second place in El Modelo México, the male model version of the beauty pageant Nuestra Belleza México. Because the original winner was unable to compete due to an injury sustained in an accident, Minor represented Mexico at Mister World 2014 in Torbay, England, from 30 May to 15 June 2014. He took classes to improve his English in preparation for the contest. He finished the competition in third place.

As an infant, he had a small role as an extra in an episode of the Mexican telenovela ''Muchachitas''.

In 2010, Minor gained acceptance to Centro de Educación Artística (CEA), Televisa's free acting school, where he studied acting and graduated in 2012.

In 2015, Minor was cast in the telenovela drama, '' Pasión y poder'', a remake of the 1988 Mexican telenovela of the same name. The telenovela premiered on Canal de las Estrellas on 5 October 2015. On 17 April 2016, Minor won "Mejor Actor Co-estelar" at the 2016 Premios TVyNovelas awards show.

Following ''Pasión y poder'', Minor was cast in the romantic-comedy film ''Plan virgen''. The film was expected to begin filming in July 2016, but production was delayed for several months. Filming finally began in mid-December 2016 and was expected to last until late-January 2017. The film is now called ''Plan V''. Filming was conducted in Guadalajara and Mexico City. The film was expected to be released in February 2018.
