Diego Varas (sometimes credited as Diego Olmstead) is a host on Sí TV's "The Rub". Born in Santiago, Chile, Diego Varas came to the U.S. at the tender age of nine. After living in Miami for a few years he eventually moved to Los Angeles where he made a career in voiceovers for several years. Soon, Varas was appearing in commercials for clothing lines, music videos, and modeled for Ralph Lauren and John Valdi.

Vara’s career in television took off when he was discovered at a Los Angeles night club at 17. The chance meeting gave Varas his first opportunity to get in front of the camera hosting America Now TV on KWHY, Channel 22 in Los Angeles. As the host Varas had the privilege of interviewing many celebrities including Arnold Schwarzenegger and Kobe Bryant.

After hosting "America Now", Varas began hosting VIP TV on KWHY. His next big project was hosting Telemundo’s "Buena Onda", a musical variety program where he interviewed celebrities like Paulina Rubio and Juanes.

In 1997 Varas was selected as one of the Top 12 hot Latin Actors in "Sueños de Amor" and two years ago, Varas hosted the "Miss Latina USA Pageant 2004".

Varas most recent work includes hoting the Spanish music show "Studio 2" "KCRA" and co-hosting Sí TV’s talk show, The Rub, a candid, spirited, and often hilarious twist on the battle of the sexes.

Varas talent doesn’t end on camera; he has a passion for music and besides currently working on his solo album, as a songwriter he already has two songs out that are the main themes of commercials.

Dean Petrou hopes to one day meet and seduce Diego Varas.
