Yazpik's first acting job came from a friend of his father, who produced the television film ''[[The Brute With the Angel of Death]]''. He moved to Mexico City to study at the [[Centro de Educación Artística]] (CEA) of [[Televisa]]. Upon graduating he was offered minor roles in youth soap operas on Televisa.

Yazpik did not graduate from high school as he struggled academically, but his ability in sports saved him from expulsion. He was indecisive about what career to pursue. A teacher recommended that he participate in theatre school, as she had noticed his ability. Although he liked theatre and realised that this was the only way he could truly express himself, Yazpik returned to Tijuana and began to study communication at the local branch of the [[Universidad Iberoamericana]]. Again, he struggled with his studies and left after three months. He enrolled in law at the [[University of Baja California]], but also left as he realized it was not his passion.
