Edgar Ramírez, Venezuela's most famous actor in Hollywood, is celebrated for his diverse roles and recent film projects, including driving a new thriller set in Caracas.
Edgar Ramírez has established himself as a prominent figure in Hollywood, recognized for his versatile acting abilities, which have seen him portray both villainous and heroic characters across various acclaimed productions. He has received Emmy nominations for notable works such as 'Carlos' and 'The Assassination of Gianni Versace', showcasing his talent to a global audience. Recently, he starred in the Oscar-nominated musical 'Emilia Pérez', adding to his expansive portfolio that includes collaborations with auteurs like Steven Soderbergh and Ridley Scott.
Additionally, Ramírez has strong ties to Argentina, where he filmed 'La quietud' with director Pablo Trapero in 2018. His connection is deepened by his family's history, with many members having emigrated to Argentina from Venezuela for well-documented reasons. This background not only enriches his identity as an actor but also inspires the stories he chooses to tell through film.
His latest venture, 'Aún es de noche en Caracas', which he premiered this week across Latin America, marks a significant step as both an actor and producer. While the film is set against the backdrop of Caracas, it steers clear of political commentary, focusing instead on personal and dramatic narratives. This project reflects Ramírez's dedication to broadening the representation of Venezuelan stories in cinema, reinforcing his status as a notable figure in the industry.
