My greatest achievement is to feel that the character is incorporated into my body. I work for that.


1. Tell us about your background and journey.

I premiered my first play in 2016. Since then I did 18 theater plays and over 30 audiovisual production, among them 2 films, 2 series.


2. Did you ever think or dream of being an actor?

Yes. When I child my mother was an actress. But in the first time I´m worked like a Turistic Guide when I developed my histrionic gifts. Was a very wonderful time. At that time I decided to work as a tour guide for money but I always dreamed work like an actor.


3. How can one approach their career and have the confidence and belief to become an actor?

My support is the technical preparation. I always try to be learning, even now. I think that always is time to learn. My greatest achievement is to feel that the character is incorporated into my body. I work for that.


4. If not this, what would you be doing?

I don´t know. I can't think of doing anything else.


5. For a complete outsider with inroads, what advice would you like to give?

That he does not stop preparing technically, that he does not stop studying


6. Which is your favourite book and why?

I haven´t a particular favourite book. I remember a many books read like Las Venas Abiertas de América Latina of Eduardo Galeano, La Tregua of Mario Benedetti, La Casa de los Espíritus of Isabel Allende, Rayuela of Julio Cortazar but my favourite writer is William Shakespeare. 

In my young time, my mother that wrote, was a very big library and I read all the books that were there and precisely I read the entire collection of Shakespeare.


7. What is your mantra of success?

The movement generates movement. I never stop.
