Ricardo Darín (Spanish pronunciation: [riˈkaɾðo ðaˈɾin]; born January 16, 1957) is an Argentine actor, screenwriter and film director.
Considered one of the greatest and most acclaimed movie stars of his country, he played a number of parts in TV series for several years where he became popular as a young leading actor. His most prominent roles as a film actor include Nine Queens (2000), El Hijo de la Novia (2001), Luna de Avellaneda (2004), El Aura (2005) and La Señal (2007), which was also his directorial debut. He starred in the Academy Award winning film The Secret in Their Eyes (2009). In 2011, the Konex Foundation bestowed upon him their Diamond Award, one of the most prestigious awards in Argentina, for being the most important personality in entertainment in the last decade in his country.
Ricardo Darín was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on January 26, 1957, to actor Ricardo Darín Sr. and actress Renée Roxana. His family, of Italian and Syrian-Lebanese origin, held strong ties to the Argentine showbusiness community.
His parents got divorced when he was only 12 years old, and later on his father would die of cancer on January 5, 1989.
He has worked in showbusiness since he was a little boy, and over the years has made a remarkable evolution from soap operas and TV comedies to becoming a leading figure in the production of the most important Argentine movies of the past decades.
Darín was only ten years old when he made his theater debut alongside his parents. At the age of sixteen he would achieve a stable position in the Argentinean show business, through TV shows such as Alta Comedia and Estación Retiro.
