One of his most applauded roles has been that of Ariel Mercader, a homosexual doctor in Machos (Channel 13, 2003).
As an actor in the cinematographic genre, he began in 1997 in the short film by Marco Enríquez-Ominami 10.7: The case of Monserrat de Amesti (screenplay by Alberto Fuguet and Rafael Gumucio); in 2000 he participated in another short, Smog, by Sebastián Lelio and Marialy Rivas, and in his first feature film, Monos con navaja, a Stanley Gonczanski film based on the play Munchile (1998) by Rodrigo Achondo.

In theater, he starred with Antonia Zegers In My Way (2003), a play directed by Achondo that tells the story of a kidnapping; he also participated in the 2005 revival of Rojas Magallanes, a piece by the same director. In Charly Tango he played Polo, a blind tourist businessman.

As a cultural manager, he founded in 2001 with the latter actor the Lastarria 90 Theater, known as L90, a cultural center where a series of theatrical works have been staged and has supported the development of several films through the digital cinema competition .
In 2011, he returned to the theater as the lead in Martin McDonagh's The Pillowman, directed by Willy Semler, in which he plays the role of Katurian, author of ghoulish tales. In 2013, after 11 years, he returned to National Television to star in the soap opera Solamente Julia.
