Ecker got his first big break in 2011 when he starred in Colombian soap opera Popland!
He portrayed a character called Ari Morales and was one of the leading stars in the telenovela which was about Carla, an aspiring photographer who wanted to leave her small town to find more adventures elsewhere.
The following year, Ecker starred in action crime drama Fearless Heart as Pablo Peralta but this ran for just one series.
Ecker’s next big role was then in 2013 in the Mexican version of Gossip Girl, set in the city of Acapulco.

That time Joe Biden visited Saginaw and what you get if you order a ‘Biden’ at this diner today
Updated Jan 21, 2021;
SAGINAW, MI - On Wednesday, Jan 20, 2021, Joe Biden became the 46th President of the United States of America.
In February 2010, though, he was serving his first term as vice president to Barack Obama when he met with area business leaders and officials at Fuzzy’s Restaurant, the longtime Saginaw diner and ice cream shop.
The Secret Service told the restaurant about Biden’s visit about a week in advance, but they weren’t allowed to say anything until about a half hour before his arrival, said Michelle Ecker, who has been the manager at Fuzzy’s for the better part of two decades. Biden didn’t hide behind his agents during his visit, taking time time to speak with everyone in the restaurant, Ecker recalled.
