imagines himself in argentina
It looks like Kuno's career is rising rapidly. After starring in various soaps and winning the exhausting audition for the main role in Lucia, Lucia, he obtained another role in director Christopher Hampton's hollywood movie "Imagining Argentina" alongside Antonio Banderas and Emma Thompson.
How were you able to obtain a role in Imagining Argentina?
In the office where I work they talked to me about a great script with these actors and the director, and that there was this role for me, not too big but a very good one. I did various readings (auditions), talked to the producer and met Christopher Hampton (the director) in Los Angeles. In some moment he saw some of the material of Lucia, Lucia... and the idea that people like them see advances of our movie fascinates me. That and the determination of my manager is what got me this role.
How was the experience of working with Christopher Hampton and the crew?
Christopher Hampton is my heroe, because I'm a fan of his movies. Dangerous Relations (Hampton adapted the screenplay) its one of those movies that everyone has seen and remembers. He's a man who imposes all those awards he has won, but at the moment when I met him it was incredible because he is so down to earth, he listens to my ideas, is super calm and it has been a great honor to work with him.
"I can't understand why there is a lot a people who are much yonger and are full of themselves and so conceited, everything is reversed. They do some movie or soap and suddenly they feel 10 times bigger than Christopher Hampton. This makes you learn a lot about humility, its a great lesson and I also believe it has to do with inteligence, capacity and education.
What do you think about....
Antonio Banderas: "Antonio has a great personality and is a great actor and is very nice, it surprised me because he is so easying going, he's human, profesional and very talented. I swear I was very surprised!"
Emma Thompon: " She is a very well known actress, that when you meet her you say to yourself, "Ah, thats why she is what she is'. She has a great vibe, is easy going, I talked to her a lot."
