Biography
Segundo Cernadas is an Argentine actor and politician born March 20, 1972, in Viedma, Río Negro. He adopted his stage name "Segundo" after the protagonist of Don Segundo Sombra, a fictional character that inspired a show business insider to suggest the change. Trained by renowned acting instructor Pablo Ponce, Cernadas entered one of Argentina's top academies and made his television debut in Montana Rusa, Otra Vuelta. His early telenovela roles included parts in 90-60-90 Modelos and Ricos y Famosos, the latter becoming an international hit in 1997.
1998 marked a turning point when producer Raúl Lecouna convinced Cernadas to stay in Argentina and cast him in Muñeca Brava, his first starring role as a telenovela lead. The soap opera's success led to international tours across multiple countries where he reprised his character. His career peaked in 2002 with Bésame Tonto, co-starring Gianella Neyra—the show topped charts in the Dominican Republic, Chile, and Panama and catapulted him to regional stardom. By 2004, Univision brought Bésame Tonto to U.S. audiences, and Cernadas became the first Argentine actor to star in a Philippine telenovela, Te Amo, Maging Sino Ka Man, opposite Iza Calzado. Born under Pisces, Cernadas embodies the sign's emotional sensitivity—a natural fit for the dramatic intensity telenovelas demand. Actors like Cernadas perform in television and stage productions, bringing scripted narratives to audiences across media. As an Argentine citizen, Cernadas represents a wave of Latin American performers who found international success in the telenovela boom.
