Biography
[edit]Mayer started his career in 1982 in a group called Chévere Internacional, which he belonged to for 4 years. With the group, he toured all over Latin America and the United States. Once the tour ended, he returned to Mexico to complete his Business Administration degree at the Universidad Iberoamericana.
During that time he made commercials and fashion runways. He was invited to participate in the Heraldo awards as a dancer.
Luis de Llano liked what he saw and invited him to participate in the Garibaldi group project.
With the same producer, he worked in the shows Papá Soltero and La Edad de Oro, and made various appearances as a conductor.
He takes acting classes with Sergio Jiménez and Rita Macedo. In 1996, he played in the soap opera Confidente de Secundaria. In TV Azteca, he was the artistic director and producer of many programs, plus being the creator of CEFAC.
Later he created the concept of Solo Para Mujeres with Alexis Ayala. He combined his singing and acting activities with his business and artistic representation with Espectaculos Mayer. Solo Para Mujeres "Only for Women" is a male strip show where many male models, including him, take off their clothes in public and show nothing but a thong. He has made videos of these performances, one of which has been out on DVD in 2009.
In May 2004, he decided to take part in the second chapter of Big Brother VIP in its third edition; in which he ended in second place, beaten only by Roxana Castellanos. He has a son with actress Bárbara Mori, Sergio Jr.
In May 2005, while filming for a commercial in Mexico City, Mayer and several others of the cast survived an accident when a car driven under the influence hit their motorcade, hitting Mayer and three other actors. Édgar Ponce, one of the actors involved in the accident, died in hospital a day later.
In March 2007, he appeared in the music video for Ivy Queen's hit single "Que Lloren".
Election as federal deputy
[edit]In 2018, Mayer ran as the Juntos Haremos Historia candidate for federal deputy for Mexico City's 6th federal electoral district and won with more than 40 percent of the vote.[2] He sought re-election for the same district in the 2021 mid-terms but lost to Diana Lara Carreón of the National Action Party (PAN).[3]
He returned to Congress in the 2024 general election as a plurinominal deputy for the National Regeneration Movement (Morena).[4]
