Claudio Rissi(1956-2024)

Claudio Rissi was born in Monte Grande, Buenos Aires. Moved to Coghlan at 17, the proximity to River Plate took him to the club's theater school, where he became a "clandestine actor", hidden from his father, Rafael. Then he spent a year at the School of Dramatic Arts, but the most powerful master had already completed it, that of the street wanderings. He has worked on more than 30 films, among which we will mention Plata Quemada by Marcelo Piñeyro; Nine Queens, by Fabian Bielinsky; Lugares Comunes by Adolfo Aristarain; El Fondo Del Mar by Damián Szifron, and Juan y Eva by Paula de Luque. He has been awarded two Awards for Best Supporting Actor of the Argentine Critics Association, the first in 2001 by 76-89-03, by Cristian Bernard and Flavio Nardini, and the second in 2012 by Aballay, El hombe sin miedo of Fernando Spiner.

He has worked in numerous series, including Okupas and Epitafios. In 2016 he played Mario Borges, a boss of the underworld, in El marginal, winner of eleven Tatos (Argentine television awards) and the Grand Prix at the Séries Mania Festival in Paris, in 2016. Canal + broadcasts the series in France.

Between 2014 and 2016 he gave life to the character of El Tatita in Terrenal, a play written and directed by Mauricio Kartun.
