Due to his role in the TV series "Wild Angel", he became the subject of love for many, many girls around the world. He could not imagine that he will unite his name so many people speaking different languages, having such different religions and cultures. What they will follow his life, to share with one another information, photos, create entire web pages devoted to his work. And I must say that it is probably no one else, carefully and sympathetic to their fans, and they pay him in return, affectionately calling him «chuchi» and «ojitos dulces» (literally: cute eyes). His eyes really gentle and affectionate, and smile - children and open. He deserves this love. Success has not gone to his head, and he was the same guy who was before - a humble, loving his job, his home, family and friends, and always thanking God for all that he gives him life. Maybe the fact that he had to undergo such an ordeal (at 17 years old he put diagnoz cancer of the lymph glands) and gave him a wise attitude to life: "We must live for today. I'm alive - and this is happiness. "

We are certainly not alone in his attempt to write about this young actor, is today perhaps the brightest star among his generation in the Argentine television. (Last episode with his participation "Iago, dark passion" has the highest rating among similar programs). In Hungary I am going to write a book about it, and Israel has made a documentary film about his life. I, too, for its part, will try to tell about it, combining different materials in an article written about him, and interviews he gave at different times. Nobody is better not to talk about who is Facundo Arana (I think you have guessed that it was about him and will be discussed), what he thinks and feels, what he did.

Your desire to become an actor came after you once for the company with his friend came to the theater courses Alicia Muzio, or it arose earlier?

Perhaps my childhood, too, was influenced by the fact that I became an actor. I come from a wealthy family, which never had any conflicts, problems, had a great relationship. Nevertheless, I grew very taciturn and introverted child. I was completely absorbed in painting. Just did that drew all the time. I was very closed, all kept to myself, and that's when I was fifteen, my friend Kali asked me to go with him to class theatrical skill. He tried to persuade me for a long time, because I did not want to go there, I thought it was a waste of time. In short, I still went out there, and it was the beginning of my way of acting. I began to study with Alicia Muzio, to play in the theater. It was a wonderful time.

At seventeen Facundo ill. He was diagnosed with cancer of the lymph glands. 10 months of treatment, chemotherapy, and then another 5 years he remained under medical supervision. Thank God, he survived.

What changed illness in your life?

Now I thank God for every passing minute. I do not think that with me nothing ever happens. As a child, you feel invincible and invulnerable ... It was difficult to realize that nothing can be done, that he may die in the prime of life.

We had to rely on fate?

No, it was necessary to seize more than ever ....

What?

In life, what you love. To believe that it is possible to recover and win.

Who helped you at that time?

My elderly sisters and my friends! ... Kali, my best friend, shaved his head, when I lost my hair Hair: structure, characteristics of growth and development . He lived with me, went to the procedure. He was like a brother to me. More than a brother ....

At 18, he played first major role in the theater. This was the role of a young man, a dreamer, a bit out of this world, which, after two years of absence returns home to his dying mother. He can not come to terms with reality and, sitting on the bed, which seemed to him a coach, taking his mother to heaven.

Despite the fact that he has already played for a long time in the theater, by fate of his film career began in the subway. Once he was there with his saxophone and saw another saxophonist, who played in the transition. Those invited to play and Facundo. He was so pleased with the idea that after some time, he found himself in another passage, and within 10 months he played the saxophone there. "This was a school of life. Seeing so many people, so many people passing by you every day and play for them. It was a great experience, "- said Facundo.
It is in this transition and saw his scriptwriter of the series "Santo Rodado» Lito Espinosa. Here's how he tells Facundo about this:

How did you get on TV?

This can be called Providence . February 15, 1993 I received a call Betiana Bloom, who with 90-year was my teacher in acting .  She said that I was quite prepared for serious work and she will introduce me to a casting for a television channel 13 .  I came with a saxophone because they needed an actor who could play on any instrument, or knew how to dance .  With dance I had no problems with the music even more .  In addition, I have been behind five years of work in the theater .  So on the sample I was fully prepared .  For the role in the TV series «Canto Rodado» auditioned 3,500 people, and in the end only 27 remained .  At some point in the sample came Lito Espinosa .  He looked at me and said, "You - Ramiro" .  I replied: "No, my name is Facundo Arana" .  He kept repeating that I - Ramiro, and I could not understand what was going on .  And then he said, "I - the author of« Canto Rodado », as you play the saxophone in the subway, I see you every day, and you throw money" .  And I told him: "Oh, really? " .  Then he said that the character, the role that I have stayed, was written to me that he had come here by chance and that's what a coincidence ... It was something incredible ...

After starring in «Canto Rodado» Facundo consecutive starred in «Alta Comedia», «Marco el Candidato», «La Hermana Mayor». In 1995, Facundo gets a small role in the series "Perla negra" ("The Black Pearl") with the participation of Andrea Del Boca and Gabriel Corrado. In 1996, he played the villain - the jealous groom - in a television comedy with Canal 13 "Sueltos". In the same year he won the role of a young man suffering from cancer of the lymph glands in the series «Zingara» («Gypsy"), also with Andrea Del Boca and Gabriel Corrado.
In 1997 he went to work for TEL and was the first major role in the series «Chiquititas» («Girly"). He is very fond of his role in this series. It had to show all their skill and play two characters - twin brothers. One, as usual, has been positive, and the other - terribly negative. More precisely, it was one character who occasionally disguised himself as alleged brother in order to win the love of the heroine.

And then, finally, in late 1998 Facundo gets the lead role and becomes a partner Natalia Oreiro in the TV series "Muñeca Brava" («Wild Angel").
