00:00He is my first protagonist, he is the second time I work for Salvador Mejia,
00:07he is the one who trusted me in Corazón Guerrero,
00:14a novel I wrote two or three years ago, and now again for this role,
00:19so I am enormously grateful to him for this great opportunity.
00:28I am trying to return this gratitude with the best of me.
00:34I share the role with Kimberly Dos Ramos,
00:38she is a great actress, she is super prepared to star,
00:43she has been doing it, it has been a success.
00:45I am with César Ébora, starring him in the story of the slightly more adult,
00:55Marlene Favela, super actors, super actors,
01:01so they make me feel that I am not alone.
01:08I have Cristian de la Campa as a best friend,
01:11with whom I worked in Corazón Guerrero,
01:13and I have almost all my scenes also with him,
01:16and Horacio Panchieri as a villain.
01:22So at no time did I feel that I was alone,
01:26on the contrary, I feel that we are all a team in different roles.
01:31The story is a bit of a forbidden love,
01:36due to a dispute of families,
01:41some problems of the past,
01:4420 or 25 years ago,
01:47where my mother dies in an accident,
01:51and 20 years later,
01:54it begins to clarify what happened.
01:58So my character, although it does not come in a revenge plan,
02:03the aunt, who plays Marlene Favela,
02:09she is orchestrating everything so that my character
02:12is in this place where they were raised,
02:17with the truth of how my mother died,
02:19to, let's say, cause me that poison
02:23and that I help her in her revenge plan.
02:26Then various information will begin to occur,
02:31the characters change,
02:33and one of the things that I liked about this novel
02:36is that the character is not, throughout the story,
02:38looking for that revenge.
02:41I liked that that revenge actually
02:44begins to be resolved quickly by my character,
02:47and the love story begins to play.
02:52He is a very romantic character,
02:54who falls in love, and despite everything goes against him,
02:58he plays against his own aunt, his ex-girlfriend,
03:01thousands of misunderstandings,
03:04distrust of the girl's family,
03:09the character is called Victoria, the one who plays Kim.
03:12Despite everything, he is a lover,
03:14and he does not give up until the last second,
03:17and he will try to trust him,
03:19and that he is really in love.
03:21Luckily, yes, I knew how to edit.
03:23I worked in 2010 for Italy,
03:27Tierra Rebelde was a protagonist that I made,
03:29that went very well,
03:30we made Tierra Rebelde 2,
03:32La Cartuja de Parma, La Traviata,
03:35in all these series of the time I had to edit.
03:38Then, every so often, I played some other movie,
03:41some other moment to edit.
03:44So, that part, I had it covered,
03:50and I really wanted to do it again.
03:53It gave me a lot of memories, a lot of nostalgia,
03:55of the series that I told you,
03:57that I had made for Italy,
03:58and I really wanted to get on the horse again,
04:01and record in the free scene,
04:04in that kind of environment.
04:07There, you regain a little bit of confidence with the horse.
04:11All horses are different,
04:13that is very interesting,
04:16and knowing how to know them,
04:18knowing how to connect with the horse,
04:22is something very, very interesting,
04:25because he is your partner,
04:27he has to help you,
04:29he has to know the marks,
04:31when you are saying the important text,
04:33he has to stay there,
04:35not to turn around,
04:37and he also has to be used to this filming,
04:40to some lights,
04:42to some moments.
04:44It is very interesting,
04:46but well, I was lucky,
04:48that I told you that I made Tierra Rebelde,
04:50that was six months on the horse,
04:52in all the scenes,
04:53not in some,
04:54in all the scenes,
04:55and I had Ricky Polito,
04:57a super friend,
04:58who was the one who taught me to ride,
05:00and I will thank him all my life,
05:02because look at all the work that came out on the horse,
05:04thanks to him,
05:05at the time he taught me.
05:07I loved cinema,
05:08I loved cinema,
05:09since I had,
05:10I don't know when,
05:11the first movies I saw in the cinema,
05:13I loved the cinema room too.
05:16Eleven years,
05:18Indiana Jones,
05:19Batman,
05:20there is a movie by River Phoenix,
05:22which is called
05:23A Night in the Life of Jimmy Riddle,
05:25I saw that movie and I said,
05:28the actor would have at that time,
05:30two years older than me,
05:31then I said,
05:32I felt very identified,
05:34I saw cinema and I was very identified,
05:36very connected,
05:38at times believing that it was the character,
05:40for hours,
05:41or a few days,
05:43and I said,
05:44I love this,
05:45I love cinema,
05:46which also happened to me with music,
05:48I always loved music,
05:50since I listened to the Beatles,
05:51Ray Charles,
05:52Stevie Wonder,
05:53my grandmother made me listen to that great music,
05:57and I dreamed of cinema,
05:58and out there,
05:59honestly,
06:00as I was very,
06:01very shy,
06:02as a teenager,
06:04I did not imagine myself as an actor at first,
06:07because of this great shyness that I had,
06:09then out there,
06:10I saw myself as a director,
06:12or a photography director,
06:14in fact I tried,
06:15I faced a little on that side,
06:17but when everyone started telling me,
06:20Rodri, why don't you do commercials,
06:22why don't you do advertising,
06:23I got into the world of advertising,
06:25for that,
06:26because they convinced me,
06:27my friends,
06:28my colleagues at work,
06:29at that moment,
06:30I started playing,
06:31I started making music before acting,
06:33and I had bands,
06:34and when I got off playing,
06:35people told me,
06:36why don't you do advertising,
06:38it seemed strange to me,
06:39I say,
06:40I just did a show,
06:41of an hour and a half,
06:43but everyone told me,
06:44no,
06:45it's a nice job,
06:46meanwhile,
06:47you can pay the cinema school,
06:48the acting school,
06:50and the truth is that,
06:52I started out out of curiosity,
06:53in the world of advertising,
06:54and it went well for me,
06:55very quickly,
06:57that helped,
06:58I think that if,
07:00if the first castings,
07:01I wasn't very lucky,
07:04I think that at that moment,
07:05the rejection,
07:06I went away,
07:07from the world of advertising,
07:08but,
07:09but I was very lucky,
07:10when I started,
07:11then I said,
07:12well,
07:13no,
07:14I'm going to bet this,
07:15but what they chose for me,
07:16were commercials,
07:17I never did,
07:18or walkways,
07:19almost,
07:20or photos,
07:21but more,
07:22of clothes,
07:23no,
07:24and,
07:25when I start,
07:26and I do my first commercial,
07:27I hallucinate,
07:28with the cameras,
07:29of cinema,
07:30at that time,
07:31a commercial was,
07:32was filming cinema,
07:33you had directors of cinema,
07:34you had,
07:35I mean,
07:36directors,
07:37photography,
07:38technicians,
07:39and,
07:40and,
07:41there I said,
07:42wow,
07:43and I saw the protagonist,
07:44of the commercial,
07:45and I asked him,
07:46you,
07:47this performance,
07:48because I saw it,
07:49so well,
07:50working,
07:51and he tells me where,
07:52in the cultural center,
07:53San Martin,
07:54or I go on vacation,
07:55with my friends,
07:56like any boy,
07:57of 22 years old,
07:58or I get to study,
07:59in the summer course,
08:00that,
08:01I said,
08:02I get to study,
08:03in the summer course,
08:04and,
08:05I started like that,
08:06I started studying acting,
08:07I think that,
08:08in the beginning,
08:09I deceived myself,
08:10I said,
08:11so that I do well,
08:12in the commercials,
08:13it was a lie,
08:14I,
08:15I,
08:16I lived doing,
08:17many lies,
08:18no,
08:19to myself,
08:20then,
08:21I started studying,
08:22and the teachers told me,
08:23you study a lot,
08:24and this,
08:25like,
08:26you want to go further,
08:27because of how you ask,
08:28because of how you bring,
08:29the work,
08:30the tasks,
08:31they themselves,
08:32started telling me,
08:33won't it be that,
08:34apart from the books,
08:35that I read,
08:36and the movies,
08:37that,
08:38I went to the,
08:39to the library,
08:40that had the cultural center,
08:41in San Martin,
08:42on the seventh floor,
08:43to see movies,
08:44in black and white,
08:45in VHS,
08:46to see Marlon Brando,
08:47James Dean,
08:48and,
08:49and there I said,
08:50well,
08:51it seems to me,
08:52that I'm having more and more fun,
08:53because in the commercials,
08:54every time,
08:55I'm having more and more fun,
08:56and so it was,
08:57that I told the advertising agency,
08:58I feel like acting,
08:59and I,
09:00I,
09:01I went to the casting,
09:02of Rebel the Way,
09:03I did some chapters,
09:04and there I went little by little,
09:05the nursery,
09:06from a little chapter,
09:07to two,
09:08to three,
09:09until I did the first,
09:10teenage novel,
09:11I went very,
09:12very little by little,
09:13and there,
09:14yes,
09:15it was that,
09:16in a moment,
09:17I said,
09:18well,
09:19yes,
09:20this is it,
09:21this is what,
09:22what I love,
09:23but then,
09:24it was,
09:25I read the music,
09:26what happened with the music?
09:27Because I was missing something,
09:28and there,
09:29it was a few years,
09:30that I stopped making music,
09:31and I retook,
09:32I don't know,
09:332006,
09:34I retook the music,
09:35something,
09:36I felt that something was missing,
09:37and there,
09:38those two passions,
09:39and,
09:40they keep me alive,
09:41until now,
09:42look,
09:43look what I have here,
09:44just,
09:45like this,
09:46alone,
09:47missing me,
09:48and,
09:49and,
09:51and,
09:52yeah,
09:53here I am,
09:54I just did 7 months in Spain,
09:57as Protagonist,
09:58The show is going to be called The Embraced.
10:01By that,
10:02at one weekend,
10:03I am starring,
10:04in Mexico.
10:06It's the year,
10:072024,
10:08the one that I didn't shoot,
10:09for the last ten,
10:10or fifteen.
10:11I'm still shooting,
10:13when I have free time,
10:14I'll be shot in the studio.
10:16I have the luck,
10:17to have a lot of music friends,
10:18and above all, a brother of life, Rodrigo Aramburu, who is playing all the time.
10:22So, Buenos Aires floor for three days and makes me play two.
10:28But for me it's, I don't know, cable to earth.
10:33I would like to be playing more, I would like to have more time,
10:37but well, I know there is time for everything.
10:41The novel of Me Atrevo a Marte is going to end at the end of March
10:45and there I am going to dedicate a little time to play, to travel.
10:50I like to go to some cities, to the United States,
10:53I have some friends in some places,
10:55and go up to the stages and share that passion.
11:00But it is true that if 2024 is the year that I played the least,
11:04it was difficult for me at first to accept it.
11:06Honestly, I went back to work and I saw Hugo's guitar.
11:10But luckily, in Spain and now in Mexico,
11:16I enjoyed both projects so much that it did not weigh me so much not to make music.
11:24I think that if I had not enjoyed the projects,
11:26it would have been very hard for me not to play.
11:28But since I enjoyed it so much, I asked myself,
11:34it caught my attention,
11:36because I had half an hour to play and I did not do it.
11:41I started studying at 60.
11:43I took on a lot of responsibility for these two protagonists
11:47and to give the best of me, the best I could.
11:53It is acting, let's say, and I like to be acting.
11:58And sometimes it happens that they call you to two or three movies together
12:02and, well, what luck you had.
12:05Sometimes they call you to a long series.
12:07Now there are many very long series.
12:09Everything is changing a bit.
12:11And then go back to a novel.
12:16Sometimes I have enjoyed more novels.
12:18I already have that my passion is cinema,
12:20but I enjoyed more recording novels than recording some movies.
12:24There are times when I had ...
12:26I mean, it depends on each project.
12:29In my case, I never say never.
12:32Imagine that I say, no, I will never do this again.
12:36And then I'm doing it again.
12:40It would be contradictory for me.
12:42No, I hope that after this novel, there will be a movie.
12:46Of course, I like to be changing all the time.
12:49Not to be doing the same.
12:51I hope there will be a very good series.
12:53I also want to make a very good series.
12:56It's amazing.
12:58There are series that are filmed like a movie.
13:02What I did for Spain,
13:04there were a lot of chapters,
13:06and we filmed it with an incredible technical team.
13:11And sometimes it was,
13:13how many movies did we make in this series?
13:15They asked me.
13:16I say, how many chapters did we make?
13:18Seven months.
13:19How many movies did we make?
13:21We made four movies, five movies.
13:24It's crazy.
13:25Everything I had to act in that series,
13:27how many movies will I play?
13:29So many difficult scenes,
13:31with so much emotional challenge.
13:34And I really like to go back to Mexico.
13:38And a protagonist in a telenovela,
13:42one thing leads to another.
13:44Today, I think that sometimes,
13:47to be starring in Mexico,
13:49helps me in other places,
13:51because there are a lot of co-productions today.
13:54And Spain is doing a lot of co-productions with Mexico.
13:57And the truth is that they need actors
14:00who have worked in Mexico,
14:02and who are known,
14:04or who have starred in something.
14:06And you never know what can help you.
14:09Look, the funniest thing in the world,
14:12that I'm going to tell you,
14:14I don't know if the funniest thing in the world,
14:16but something particular.
14:18My first series, Super Series for Italy,
14:21as a protagonist, was the most watched of the year.
14:24They chose me,
14:26because the producer showed it to his 12-year-old daughters,
14:30and he said,
14:31I don't know how many actors he showed,
14:33five, they like it more.
14:35And the girls saw me and said,
14:37it's him!
14:38Because they had seen me in Ugly Duckling,
14:40a teen novel.
14:41So, to make a teen novel,
14:43they chose me for my first protagonist for Europe,
14:46in Italy, and it was the most watched of the year.
14:49So, you never know what can lead you
14:53to something as great.
