Juan Fernandez de Alarcón - this is the full name of the Dominican actor, in whose professional piggy bank there are almost sixty cinematic projects. Despite the fact that he starred in a large number of films, he does not have many main roles, he usually plays secondary or episodic characters.

Fernandez Juan. Biography

The actor was born on 1956-13-12 in the capital of the Dominican Republic, the city of Santo Domingo.

Practically his whole life is an escape from the oppressive reality of his native country, where poverty, banditry and devastation reign everywhere. The Dominican Republic of the second half of the 20th century is just such a place. Today, fortunately, the situation has improved somewhat.

Today he is a fairly well-known actor who has starred in a large number of films. Most of his works are distinguished by the fact that he plays negative characters, who are commonly called villains. This is largely due to his appearance, which gives the impression that the viewer is an inveterate villain and villain. The stereotype that most Latin Americans are drug dealers and bandits only contributes to the development of the actor in this particular role.

Career

Juan Fernandez thoughis a Dominican by origin and lives in this country, he built his career mainly in the United States. This is due to the fact that cinema in the Dominican Republic itself is extremely poorly developed, and in the USA a Latin American man with Juan's external data can easily build a career in crime films, playing the role of villains.

This is exactly the path to build his career and chose Juan Fernandez. And it is worth noting that he succeeded very well in this.

The actor himself was not too fond of playing the roles of scoundrels, gangsters and bastards, however, for lack of a better one, as they say, he agreed to what was offered. Nevertheless, in his track record there are several rather significant paintings. Among these works are films such as: "Kinjayt: Forbidden Topics" (1988), "Lonely" (2003) and "Devil's Pit" (2012). Also considered a significant work by Juan Fernandez as an actor in The Collector, a 2009 film.

Filmography

The total number of cinematographic works of the actor has about 60 films and television series. His first film work was a tape called "Salome", filmed in 1972

Then there were movies like:

• "City of Fear" (1984);
• "Salvador" (1985);
• "Crocodile Dundee 2" (1988);
• "The Book of the Dead" (1993);
• "Reservoir Dog Time" (1996);
• "In Hell" (2003);
• "Love Movie" (2012)and others.

Also in his track record is a fairly large number of TV series, among which the following can be distinguished:

• "Miami PD: Vice" (TV series, 1984-1990);
• "Beverly Hills 90210" (TV series, 1990-2000);
• "Cool Walker" (TV series, 1993–2001);
• "Underwater Odyssey" (TV series, 1993–1996) and others.

In recent years, sixty-year-old Juan Fernandez - the actor whose photo you can see below - has become much less likely to act in films, although he still strives to act only in good, high-quality action films and crime films.

After all, it was in this genre that he excelled and built his entire career around films of this genre and themes.

Conclusion

Juan Fernandez does not claim to be the most outstanding or greatest actor of our time. It is enough for him that he managed to create a significant name for himself in the world of cinema and build a fairly successful film career, even though he does not have prominent front-line roles.

It is worth noting that he is one of the few people from the Dominican Republic who managed to get into the world of big Hollywood cinema at all. He went to this for quite a long time, so everything that he achieved, he owes only to himself, his perseverance and strength of will. Of course, his inborn talent, remarkable appearance and determination also played a significant role in his development as an actor.

Despitedespite the fact that he practically does not have major roles, he took part in the filming of many films and TV shows that have become truly cult. If not for his participation in these projects, who knows, maybe they would not have become so significant for cinematic art. After all, he helped create that oppressive atmosphere of crime and the villain that was happening in the films.

With all his appearance, he demonstrated and continues to demonstrate that there is no more suitable candidate for the role of a bad Latin American gangster. In many ways, his success in this role is due to the fact that he himself comes from a country where crime reigned everywhere, although he played the role of not only criminal guys.
