The talented Venezuelan actor first made waves on the global stage with his standout, Cesar Award-winning performance in Carlos The Jackal—a role that truly put him on the international map. Since then, he’s continued to build an impressive filmography, including a memorable portrayal of Paz in The Bourne Ultimatum, sharing the screen with Matt Damon. Fans of intense thrillers might also recognize him from his supporting roles in Zero Dark Thirty and the adrenaline-fueled remake of Point Break.
Before all the Hollywood spotlight, though, this Venezuelan actor was already making a name for himself back home. He got his start in the popular Venezuelan soap opera Cosita Rica, which helped lay the foundation for his acting career. On a more personal note, he was once in a relationship with Nereida Solis and later dated rising star Ana De Armas, drawing some media attention along the way. Behind the scenes, he shares a close bond with his sister, Nataly, who has remained an important part of his life throughout his journey.
All in all, this Venezuelan actor has carved out a diverse and compelling path—from telenovelas to major motion pictures—proving time and again that his talent knows no bounds.
He decided to turn down the chance to be part of the film Amores Perros, even though it could have been a major moment in his career. At the time, he wasn’t sure if it was the right move, but looking back, he still stands by his decision. He believed there were other paths better suited for him, and so he walked away from the opportunity. It wasn’t an easy choice, but he knew what he wanted—and appearing in Amores Perros just didn’t fit the plan he had for himself.
