He received the Martín Fierro Award to the best actor, and the telenovela got the majority of awards, including the golden one. [2] [3] The next year he was the lead actor of Amanda O , along with Natalia Oreiro. [4] This telenovela was made for internet, and summaries of it were aired weekly on television. [4] Luciano Castro, Mariano Martínez and Gonzalo Heredia were the lead actors of the 2009 telenovela Valientes , that became the most successful telenovela of Pol-ka with an average of 27.3 rating points.
