Recently, actor longer seen on the stage than on television. (It should be noted that the performances in which he played Diego, enjoyed great success with the public.) The actor has said repeatedly that he was no longer interested in the telenovela. Now Ramos returns to the world of soap operas, through which he once became famous. Diego is waiting for a six-month journey to Colombia, where he will join the cast of the popular telenovela «Pedro, el escamoso». The task of the hero Ramos is identical to the one that was his "dark man" in "Wild Angel". Character actor appears to compete with the main character and fight off his beloved. In truth, Diego will become almost the main romantic hero in the Colombian telenovela, as the one who they should be according to the laws of the genre, such as the time and is not.

How did it happen that you were called to the «Pedro, el escamoso»?

I received an invitation in January, but if no agreement was reached. They wanted me was a course on the "neutralization" of the Spanish language. But I refused. (This means that the actor must try to make his accent neutral. This course is held all who want to work abroad. Recently, the same had to deal Segundo Sernadasa, which is preparing to shoot in the Peruvian telenovela. - Note. Trans.) .

Why is that?

Because Colombians, Venezuelans, Peruvians and Mexicans who come here, speak with an accent, and I want to say how Argentinian.

Despite this, they continued to insist?

Yes, they called again, and in the end I agreed.

All now want to go abroad to work, and you were so hard to talk, why?

In fact, I did not want to re-appear in the telenovela. At the moment, I want to do theater. And I was happy with the fact that my repertoire had three performances: "Cabaret," "Fiddler on the Roof" and a children's project, which is planned for the winter holidays (in Russia at this time of summer. - prim.perev.) .

But "Cabaret" was canceled, and the "Fiddler on the Roof" postponed.

Yes. Well, I weighed carefully and decided to accept the invitation. I said to myself: Well, apparently, came a time ... In a few days I am going to Bogota. The contract for six months, until October. This is not such a long time, payment in dollars ... I can not complain.

You yourself had seen once this telenovela?

Um, to be honest, no. But I know that it has already gained popularity among the audience at home and abroad. So, on the one hand, I do not suyus into the water, not knowing the ford, on the other hand, do not expect from me that I will be their participation to raise the rating.

Well, you at least know what's your role?

Not really. I know that in the series to take a single Argentine actor (Javier Gomez), who is leaving the project, and my brother is the hero of his character. I have a romantic lead - in contrast to the main character, who is the anti-hero in the classic sense.

Well, it's your crown role ...

I do not think there will be something unusual. It is a romantic hero and all. This role can not be considered a great challenge in my career. Changing the name, profession romantic hero, but otherwise it's always the same thing.

You do not think that working abroad will be a good experience for you?

Yes of course. I hope to learn from their way to work, it is different from ours. I had noticed it during the filming of "Wings of Love". I know that they work in a different time, a different rhythm. They no longer attach importance to the images of the hero and heroine. More seriously the romantic side of the telenovela. We, Argentines, some stand alone in the market of serial production in Latin America. I do not know why.

You had offers from Argentine channel?

It was one thing, but nothing came of it. The last TV project, where I was shot, became the series "Doctors". It was in the middle of last year, after that I took a timeout.

It was a necessary measure?

I do not know, but I felt fine. And I think that the audience was pleased, because for eight years, they beheld me on the screen in the same role.

It is noticeable that you are fed up with the telenovela.

Yes, I they are not happy. Just feel that everything could learn, I have learned. So I want to dedicate himself to the theater and to grow in that direction.

From the moment you started your career in the telenovela "roller coaster", you're constantly talking about it ...

Here you see. And now, again, I come back to television. But what about the situation in the country is forcing. I honestly do not want to leave. I would be happy to continue working in the theater. In this sense, I am not an ambitious man. I'm satisfied with what I have.

And you thought that you might like it there, and you stay. You will move from country to country as Arnaldo Andre (known Argentine actor - singer starring in the film "Son of the Bride" was nominated this year for "Oscar". - Note. Trans.)

Do not get ahead of ourselves, but I confess that I do not want to. Besides, I can not come to the court, and I say, "The Argentine, go home». Therefore, everything is happening, I'm calm. I say to myself: "It's only until October. Colombia - close, and I can easily go back and forth. "

How are you, it is deeply rooted roots in Argentina.

However, I had great difficulty in making this decision. I was very pleased with what happened to me professionally. Also, I recently moved to a new apartment.

You want to bring a dog?

Without his dog, I would not leave. It was one of the first questions I asked during the discussion of the future of my residence in Bogota. "Big dog? "- He asked me. "H-ee-t" - I replied. I thought it was better to let her know about the true dimension of the ...
