* FakeNationality: He played an Argentinian masseuse who played acoustic guitar and wrote his own songs on ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'', and a Mexican in ''Film/OnceUponATimeInMexico.''

* BreakawayPopHit: His single "Bailamos" was written to tie in with ''Film/WildWildWest'' and escaped the commercial failure and backlash to the movie (as the song of the same name by Will Smith was nominated for a Razzie). The song went to number one on the charts, and got him signed by Interscope.
* BreakthroughHit: While it's commonly believed that "Escape" was this for the English market, he had already been put on the map with his ''Vivir'' album - even being one of the first nominees for Favorite Latin Artist at the American Music Awards, and won the award next year before crossing over.
* FakeNationality: He played an Argentinian masseuse who played acoustic guitar and wrote his own songs on ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'', and a Mexican in ''Film/OnceUponATimeInMexico.''''
