Ernesto Federico Alterio Bacaicoa (born 25 September 1970)[1] is an Argentine-Spanish film, theatre, and television actor. He is most known for his role in the Fernando Colomo films The Stolen Years and Havana Quartet, as well as for his role in the Argentine miniseries Vientos del agua. He is the son of Argentine actor Hector Alterio.

Early life

Alterio is the son of psychologist Modesta Ángela Bacaicoa Destéfano and actor Héctor Alterio Onorato. His younger sister Malena is also dedicated to acting.[2] He is of Italian descent, his grandparents were originally from Carpinone, a commune in the province of Isernia, in the Molise region.[3] After the coup in Argentina that took place very shortly after the birth of Malena, his father Héctor Alterio was threatened by Triple A, so the family went into exile and settled in Spain between 1974 and 1975 (where he was working at the time), years later he obtained Spanish nationality.[4][5][2]

Installed with his family in Madrid, when he was four years old, Ernesto suffered the uprooting that exile brings. He remained attached to his Argentine roots through family traditions.[5][6] He began Biology studies but left to take up History, and continued with those studies for two years.[2] Encouraged to be like his father, Ernesto said that he went "sideways, skirting the edge of the pond so as not to fall into it: music, photography, history..." until he made the decision to accept being an actor.[6]

Career

In 1996, he founded the theatre group 'Ración de oreja' (seed of 'Animalario') together with Alberto San Juan, Guillermo Toledo, and Nathalie Poza.[7]

He landed some early leading film roles under Fernando Colomo in the late 1990s with performances in The Stolen Years (for which he earned a nomination to the Goya Award for Best New Actor)[8] and Havana Quartet [es].[9]

He has starred in the cult miniseries Vientos del agua along with his father, and has twice worked with director Marcelo Piñeyro, who frequently hires his father in roles. He works both in Spanish and Argentine television.
