Ariel Gigena

Gigena's screen career appears to stretch back at least to 2014, when he wrote and appeared in the short film *Tres* — a dual credit that signals he didn't come up purely as a performer-for-hire. That same year marks one of his earliest documented appearances on record (IMDb). Hard to say if there were earlier, uncredited roles before that, but *Tres* is where the paper trail starts. The mid-career period brought him into larger productions. *Kóblic* (2016), directed by Sebastián Borensztein and starring Ricardo Darín, is probably the highest-profile film on his résumé — the kind of project that gets Argentine cinema taken seriously at international festivals. Appearing alongside that caliber of production, even in a supporting capacity, matters. Then came *Causality* in 2021, another feature credit that kept his name in circulation through what were, for the global film industry, genuinely difficult production years. 2024 was a notably active stretch. Three separate credits dropped in a single year: a role as "Encargado Uruguayo 1" in one episode of the TV series *The One in Charge* (2024), "Recluso" in the feature *El Jockey* (2024), and "Directo de Cine" in the mini-series *Remoras* (2024). The variety there — feature film, episodic TV, mini-series — suggests an actor who isn't locked into one format. Looking ahead, his listed role as "Conejo" in *La Máquina, El Delfín Y Un Enano De Jardín* (2025) indicates continued activity into the next production cycle.
