Marcelo Alonso
Actor – Film, TV & Theatre
An unforgettable face
An established actor, with theatre in his DNA. Versatile, daring and disturbing are three words that define him in every role he has played.
He lists outstanding participations in cinema, television and theatre. On the big screen, Pablo Larraín’s “THE CLUB” (2015), premiered at the 65th. edition of the Berlin International Film Festival and winner of the Silver Bear of the Jury; “SPIDER” (2019) by Andrés Wood; “NERUDA” (2016) by Pablo Larraín; “MY TENDER MATADOR” (2020) by Rodrigo Sepúlveda, sharing credits with Alfredo Castro; “BLANQUITA” (2022) by Fernando Guzzoni, awarded Best Screenplay in the Horizons section at the Venice Film Festival; and “THE SETTLERS” (2023) by Felipe Gálvez, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and chosen to represent Chile at the Oscar and Ariel awards.
On the small screen we have seen him as part of recognized Latin American productions such as “FUGITIVES” (2011), “LA JAURÍA” (2020) and “BABY BANDITO” (2024). He has been part of the stable cast with exclusivity for Televisión Nacional de Chile, which led him to participate in more than 25 dramatic productions for this television channel, including the Chilean version of “100 DÍAS PARA ENAMORARSE”.
Among his most outstanding works in theatre are “Un tranvía llamado deseo” (directed by Alfredo Castro), “El Jardín de los Cerezos’” (directed by Héctor Noguera), “Casa de Muñecas” (directed by Alfredo Castro) and “Pelo Negro, Boca Arriba” (directed by Rodrigo Bazaes), as well as productions such as “Las Brutas”, “Madame de Sade” and “El Padre”, which he himself directs. His latest play “¿Estás ahí, YinYin?”, directed by Cristián Plana, is an interpretative feat that reveals him at the peak of his craft.
