Diego Olivera (born February 7, 1968) is an Argentine actor known for his work in telenovelas in Argentina and Mexico.[1]
Career
Olivera began his acting career at the age of 12 in the play Street Scene at the Teatro San Martín. He studied theater with Alejandra Boero, Carlos Gandolfo, and Héctor Bidonde. He gained recognition as a teenager for his role as Darío in the Argentine television series Montaña rusa.
Expanding his career, Olivera participated in musical theater productions such as La Bella y la Bestia and 101 dálmatas. He also acted in children’s productions, including Tom Sawyer and Cantame un cuento. Over the years, he played various roles in television dramas and telenovelas.
In 2006, while working on La Ley del Amor for Telefe, he was cast in Montecristo in Mexico, produced by TV Azteca. His performance was well received in Argentina. He later starred in Vivir por ti in Mexico City and returned to Argentina to play the antagonist Lautaro Ledesma in Herencia de amor.
Olivera continued his career in Mexico, playing Father Juan Pablo in Triunfo del amor and the main antagonist José Luis Falcón in Mentir para vivir.[2][3] The latter concluded after 101 episodes due to low ratings. He has since appeared in numerous Mexican telenovelas, often portraying antagonists.
In film, he appeared in Los guantes mágicos and Ningún amor es perfecto.
