A Rafael Novoa Appreciation

Word is that Rafael Novoa (b. October 31, 1971 in Bogotá, Colombia) has been let go from his role in "El Talismán", the telenovela in which he had been co-starring with Aarón Díaz, Blanca Soto, and Pablo Azar. Apparently the program has been performing below expectations ratings-wise, and "market research" indicates that viewers weren't warming to Rafael's character, Pedro Ibarra, and his storyline. (The novela's writer, Veronica Suarez, has also been let go.) The producers are trying to land Mario Cimarro to relpace him -- which would be a step down, IMHO.







Let's repost one of his best photo sets -- what's not to appreciate here?
