Arturo Puig

Arturo José Alberto Puig Petrosini (born 17 November 1944) is an Argentine actor. He has worked in the 1990s success Grande, pá!!!

Biography Arturo Puig became famous as the lead actor of 1970s telenovelas, such as "Me llaman gorrión" (1972) and "Pablo en nuestra piel" (1977).

He was the lead actor of Grande, pá!, a big success in Argentine television during the 1990s. The TV channel Telefe proposed him to make a remake, but he refused, as the channel did not want to hire the full cast of the original series as Puig proposed. In "Rompiendo códigos" he played the British mathematician Alan Turing.

As of 2013, he plays the gay parent of the main character of the Solamente Vos comedy telenovela. He mentioned that he is satisfied that modern television does not use self-censorship on such topics anymore.

In 2026, Puig voiced José de San Martín in El Libertador, a short film produced by Infobae that uses artificial intelligence to recreate his meeting with Domingo Faustino Sarmiento in France in 1846.
