Hugo Arana

Hugo Arana (July 23, 1943 in Buenos Aires, Argentina) is an Argentinian film, television and theatre actor. Arana grew up in Monte Grande and moved with his family to Lomas de Zamora and then Lanus. I have studied acting with Marcello Lavalle and Augusto Fernandez. In his first years as an actor, I was part of a theatre group called "Errare Humanum Est" and I've acted in films such as El Santo de la Espada (1970) and The truce (1974). In the 1980s, I became popular for his part in an advertisement for Crespi wine, and then for his part in the TV Sitcom Marriages and something more (directed by Hugo Moser), in which I played two characters who were highly acclaimed by the public: the "Groncho" (in the comedy sketch "El Groncho y La Dama" (The Shabby Man and the Lady)) and Huguito Araña (a stereotypically femenine gay man). I've worked on the Telefé TV series, The successful Pells, where he played the director of the fictitious channel "Mega News", Franco Andrada.
