kuno becker: new hollywood hearthrob....
Kuno has worked in over ten soap operas in "Televisa". He became famous in the popular soap "Dreamers", as Iran Castillo and Angelica Vale's love interest. Soap opera in which Kuno gained fame, and became an idol to girls of all ages! "Decieved Women" was another one of his most known soap operas, where he portrayed a ladies man who suffers because of his father's betrayal when he cheated on his mother. "First Love....1000 miles per hour" was his first lead role in soaps, a soap that consecrated him, but even so his future was far from the teen genre.
Kuno left tv for the big screen! He decided to go where not everyone is acepted, a place in which they only look for actors with talent like him, that place is Hollywood. After his debut in the spanish film "Lucia, Lucia", Kuno was called in by Christopher Hampton to be in his movie "Imagining Argentina" alongside Antonio Banderas and Emma Thompson, a film which is totally in english. With that, Kuno is proving that he has everything to become the newest hollywood heartthrob in Hollywood cinema!
"I don't believe there is tv actors, theater actors or movie actors." says Kuno. "In my opinion there's either actors or there isn't. I can't say that I'm good, because I'm not objective, but what I am really sure of at this moment is that I want to focus on my career in Hollywood".
Before "Imagining Argentina", Kuno filmed "Lucia, Lucia", a film that represented the liberation of this young actor from the monotony of being "easy". "The slogan of Lucia, Lucia says 'What does your life taste like?' and for me, my life in television tasted the same to me, I felt like I only went in one rail, like a train; the soap operas came to me easily, and I don't like things to be easy, I like risking more and that is what I'm doing".
Kuno proved that he is very daring, with out feeling embarassed, he made a nude scene and other erotic scenes in "Lucia, Lucia", proving that he can go beyond his inocent characters, and be a man who is mischievous and super daring! Proving once again that he is a very professional actor!
"It was an intense nude scene, but very well taken care of, its justified because its a character that's guided, with out direction, but has a lot of passion, and awakens new things in Lucia [Cecilia Roth] and it didn't embarass me. It was cool, its part of the story and the character".
These satisfactions fill the actor with happiness because its a very important phase in his career, that will make him grow more as the great professional actor that he is. A new challange that Kuno was more than happy to face, to complement his artistic career.
Would you accept to do a soap opera right now?
"No, I believe its the first time I can be selective, and start to say no; at this moment life is taking me into Hollywood and I'm looking for movie roles, I prefer to risk it and leave tv for right now and make movies because I love challanges. Because I don't like to delay my career."
