He was raised in Mexico City, Mexico. He has an older sister called Sol. Felipe studied primary at escuela Hermino Almendro. He started high school at CIE Sur in Mexico and finished in Argentina at José Martí and San Francisco schools.

Colombo made his television debut in the 1992 Televisa soap opera El abuelo y yo, co-starring Ludwika Paleta and Gael García Bernal, and made his film debut the same year with a performance in Sonata de luna.^[1]

Colombo then co-starred with Angélica María in the 1994 soap opera Agujetas de color de rosa, which was successful across Latin America and especially among Hispanic audiences in the United States. He appeared as Carlitos in the 1995 film Cilantro y perejil (Cilantro & Parsley), and in 1996 had a role in an episode of Mujer, casos de la vida real, a show hosted by legendary Mexican actress Silvia Pinal. In 1999 he acted alongside Anahí in the 1999 tele-novela Ángeles sin paraíso.

In 1998 Colombo captured the role of Julio in the Mexican version of Chiquititas, originally an Argentine production.

After the Mexican version flopped, Chiquititas author Cris Morena decided to give him a role in the original version, where he soon became one of the most popular actors. While performing in Chiquititas, Colombo worked for the first time alongside Benjamín Rojas, Luisana Lopilato and Camila Bordonaba, which would later on become part of another one of Colombo's highlights of his career as an entertainer. In 2001, Colombo reprised his character inChiquititas' for the big screen version, Chiquititas: Rincón de luz.

In 2007 Lopilato left Erreway, and the remaining three released a live hits collection Erreway presenta su caja recopilatoria, held a short tour in Spain, and confirmed the release of the band's fourth album, Vuelvo.

After his acclaimed role in Rebelde Way, Colombo appeared as Miki in another production of Cris Morena, the 2004—2005 telenovela Floricienta.
