Breaking News: Cuban TV Veteran Luis Rielo Slams “Decline” of Scenic Art Among New Actors
In a striking critique that has sent ripples through the Cuban television landscape, iconic actor Luis Rielo, aged 89, has sharply condemned what he perceives as a decline in scenic art, particularly among the younger generations of actors on the island.
Luis Rielo’sHarsh Criticism
“I saw a chapter after the footprint and I told my wife Ena: I no longer know who was the one who killed and who was the one who stole, because I did not understand anyone,” Rielo confessed during a recent radio interview, underscoring his disappointment with the lack of clarity and projection among current actors.
With over six decades of experience, Rielo voiced concerns over diction, credibility in acting, and commitment to characters amongst today’s performers. “The directors taught us to do everything,” he reminisced. “Today, young actors want to be stars without having done an extra in the scene.”
Veteran Actor’s Legacy and Concerns
Luis Rielo’s illustrious career began in 1954 and spans over a thousand roles, including antagonistic characters in beloved series like “The Fox” and “Captain of the Caribbean.” Reflecting on his experience, Rielo expressed deep-seated disappointment at the current state of Cuban television. “With the end of adventures in the 2000s, part of my career ended, and also part of the soul of television. Now, they do nothing worth it,” he voiced bitterly.
Industry Reactions and Future Implications
The actor’s statements come just days after another veteran actor, Roque Moreno, announced his retirement from soap operas, citing organizational chaos and poor working conditions. Together, these seasoned performers are sounding the alarm on an industry in decline.
For millions of viewers, Rielo remains a seminal figure in Cuban performance culture. “As an actor, one never stops working, because an old man is always needed…though they don’t even write for that,” he added with a mix of nostalgia and lucidity.
