GUSTAVO RUBEN VALENZUELA Gustavo Ruben Valenzuela was born in the city of La Plata; in the Buenos Aires district of the Argentina Republic, as the first son of three brothers, in a middle class family of a school teacher and a hospital operators' heating system.

Gustavo grew with the feeling that there was a huge world to be discovered and explored and that his country was so far away from the rest of the planet. He quickly focused his attention in Europe, where he felt the diversity of cultures living closely to each other, the different languages and ways of living were exactly where he wanted to be!

He graduates in Finance (1982) and continued further his studies at the University, at the Escuela Superior de Periodismo y Comunicacion Social in a very difficult time in Argentina for a journalist; during the last period of the Military Junta of Dictators.

At an early stage, his life becomes a fight for his idealism, dreams and surviving the facts of reality. He combined Finance, working in different kind of jobs with Theater and Improvisation classes. He managed to attend the Theater Institute 'Escuela de Teatro La Plata' from 1982 till 1985 learning acting, drama and improvisation techniques on stage in the evening courses.

As his own signs, being a 'Pisces' and a 'Snake' according to the Chinese, his life is being dedicated to art, oil painting, modeling, shining on a stage as an actor and on the other much rational side, doing Finances on different job opportunities. He was discovered in a very different time, without internet, social media of mobile phones in a club in Buenos Aires and asked by a photographer for photographic modeling work.

He believes that any kind of art starts in the heart. "Passion is the essential ingredient!" Acting is a transformation, it takes imagination to think alike, how it would be to be in someone's else skin, it's a process; when you start acting alike and feeling comfortable being, then you start becoming. And when he believes in, then you start believing in too!

In this industry you never stop learning and improving yourself. In 2017 and 2018 he followed a workshop based on the 'Meisner Technique'

The technique is based in truthfully play, Meisner said 'Acting is the ability to live truthfully under given imaginary circumstances' and the Refocus Methode in 2019; for a more trustful play.

Gustavo is living in Amsterdam; he is being in a long time relationship and picked up recently his career working at this present moment as a full time actor.

He is a two times winner award of 'Best Male Actor' 2017 in The Netherlands and in 2018 in Los Angeles, USA. And recently in 2020 he received an award as 'Best Supporting Actor' for his role as Mario, the bodyguard of the family La Rosa in 'Capo di Famiglia II'
