Leonardo Sbaraglia (middle name: Máximo[1]; born June 30, 1970 in Buenos Aires, Argentina) is an Argentine film actor.
Son of actress and theater teacher R. Randon, Leonardo Sbaraglia started his acting career already at the age of 16 in the film La Noche de los lápices (Night of the Pencils), a political documentary drama directed by Héctor Olivera.
In 1987, he gained popularity among Argentinian youth for his role in the TV series
Clave de sol. In the following years, he starred in TV and film productions as well as in the theater (e.g., in
La Soledad de los Campos de Algodon,
Closer).
In 1993, he worked for the first time together with Argentine director Marcelo Piñeyro in Tango feroz: la leyenda de Tanguito. They came together again for Caballos salvajes (1995), for which Leonardo Sbaraglia earned the Jury Price for Best Acting at the Festival de Cine Iberoamericano de Huelva, and later for Cenizas del paraíso (1997) and Plata quemada (2000).
More recently, Sbaraglia has worked both in Argentina and
Spain. In 2001, he starred with Eusebio Poncela in
Intacto [Intact], a thriller directed by
Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, and received a
Goya Award for
Best New Actor. Further of his films include
Deseo [Desire] (2002), a
Gerardo Vera film in which he plays at the sides of
Leonor Watling and
Cecilia Roth, and
Carmen (2003), an adaptation of
Prosper Mérimée's classic by director
Vicente Aranda.
