A Meeting with Daniel Lugo: Unique Lives

PROFILE / CINEMA
Destiny and the art of Daniel Lugo

In an in-depth interview with El Nuevo Día, leading Puerto Rican actor Daniel Lugo recalls that his entry into the world of arts happened almost by chance, when he replaced a sick colleague at the age of 17. Since then, Lugo has established himself as one of the most respected performers on the continent.

One of the recent milestones of his career is his role in 'Meteoro', a film written and directed by Diego de la Texera, which had the honor of opening the San Juan Film Festival. In the plot, Lugo plays a key character within the utopian community built in the Brazilian sertão.

The actor emotionally recalls filming by the roadside, where the line between reality and fiction often blurred for local residents. Daniel highlights that director De la Texera taught him the 'route' to free himself and fly on screen, resulting in a performance that balances technical mastery with emotional surrender.

The article emphasizes that, in addition to 'Meteoro', Lugo has a vast career that includes classics such as 'La gran fiesta' and international productions, reaffirming his versatility both in telenovelas and in the auteur cinema of Maria Dulce Saldanha and Diego de la Texera.
