Biography

edit

Soffritti's first work was in the telenovela Yago, pasión Morena. He was then aged 9 and was selected from 1,500 children seeking to join the cast. He played the cousin of Facundo Arana's character.[2] Beset with acting commitments, he received his education at five different schools.[3]

He became famous as the lead male actor of the teen drama Patito Feo.[4] The successful telenovela lasted for two seasons.[5]

In an attempt to escape the teen drama genre, Soffritti worked in Graduados.[2] He received the proposal while making a short production for América 2. To design his character he had interviews with all the other actors who played roles linked with it; this included most of the cast because his character was a nexus between the two families of the plot, the firm and the school.[2] He praised the actress Nancy Dupláa, who played his mother in the fiction.[3]

In 2013, it was reported that he would be a member of the cast of Vecinos en guerra, a telenovela produced by Underground, along Mike Amigorena and Mónica Antonopulos. His character in the fiction was to be a young thief, a contrast to the character he played in Graduados.[6]

Soffritti is also a guitar and drum player. He has a band named Quimera 9.[3]
