Latin American actors share casting stories and defend entertainment industry roles

Argentine actors Caro Ibarra and Gastón Dalmau recently revealed during a streaming session that they both participated in the same casting process for the Power Rangers franchise. Ibarra noted that the audition, which was held for a production based in Australia, involved physical scenes and that she had even signed a pre-contract. She reached the final three candidates before an Australian actress was ultimately selected.

In Chile, actor Etienne Bobenrieth has sparked debate regarding the role of celebrity gossip and entertainment news in television. During an appearance on Chilevisión’s ‘Fiebre de Canto’, Bobenrieth defended the right of performers to engage in such content, responding to previous criticisms made by actress Amparo Noguera. Bobenrieth argued against judging individuals for their professional choices, stating, “Who can judge another person for how they make a living?”
