Luis Alfonso Alarcón Mansilla (born 23 October 1930), popularly known as Lucho Alarcón, is a Chilean actor, theater director, and activist with a distinguished film, television, and stage career.
In 1957, Alarcón began working as a stage actor participating in university theaters – University of Chile, Catholic, Concepción, State Technical – and in independent companies. He later began his career as a cinematic actor, appearing in emblematic films such as Three Sad Tigers, Jackal of Nahueltoro, The Expropriation, Julio comienza en julio, Nadie dijo nada, Little White Dove, Caluga o menta, and The Shipwrecked.
In the 1980s he had roles in several telenovelas, but gained attention in the press only in 1983 when he played the evil Roberto Betancourt in La represa. In 1993, he was instrumental in the creation of ChileActores, of which he would become the founding President. Alarcón was labeled the "Sabatini Star Actor", referring to his many appearances in the spectacular productions of Vicente Sabatini on television, which were very successful due to their social content. In 1999, he co-starred in the telenovela La fiera, starring actress Claudia di Girolamo, which became a praised and awarded soap opera. From 1995 to 2008 he was part of the stable cast of Sabatini. Through the producer's success, Alarcón continued to work with important figures in cinema, theater, and television.
He has also appeared in television series such as Marta a las ocho, Estúpido Cupido, Romané, La noche del cobarde, Marrón Glacé, Puertas adentro, Pampa Ilusión, El circo de las Montini, and El Señor de la Querencia.
