In an interview with an international media it was learned that Sebastián Martínez almost lost his role in ‘Until silver separates us’. What happened?
These days the well-known paisa actor is filming the remake of the successful novel by Fernando Gaitán, ‘Until silver separates us’, which in 2006 ranked first in ratings nationwide and stole the hearts of thousands of Colombians with the tragic and hilarious story of Rafael Méndez, a humble and charismatic merchant who, after a serious accident, comes to the life of Dr. Alejandra Maldonado, a high-society executive with whom he lives situations to laugh and cry.
In its original version, those in charge of bringing such iconic characters to life were Marcela Carvajal and Hugo Cabrera, accompanied by a large cast of actors such as Gustavo Ángel, Katherine Porto, Lincoln Palomeque, Santiago Alarcón, Martha Isabel Bolaños, Carlos Benjumea and Katherine Vélez. but on this occasion, who will star in this tragicomedy will be Carmen Villalobos and Sebastián Martínez, in the company of Lorna Cepeda, Stephania Duque, Juliette Pardau, Julián Arango, Laura Flores, Alejandro Tommasi and Fabián Ríos, which already has the public quite excited.
But despite the fact that this could be an excellent production that any actor would want to be a part of, it seems that at first it was not coveted by Sebastián Martínez, since it was even recently known that he almost lost his role. In that way?
Sebastián Martínez almost lost his role in ‘Until silver separates us’
Well, in a recent interview that Kathy Sáenz’s husband gave to the renowned Spanish-language magazine, People en Español, the interpreter stated that at first this role did not cause him great emotion and he even thought twice about taking it.
“I was recording a telenovela for RCN. When it was over, the president spoke to me about it and I was not very encouraged by the project because the telenovela ‘Until money separates us’ had already been made and had been very successful.”
He said that the president of the channel was quite insistent in asking him to perform such a performance, so after reviewing the script he was completely captivated:
«He (president of RCN) insisted on me and I read the script, and I had an incredible connection with the character, I felt that it was a great gift that life was giving me, to be able to play a character like Méndez. Today we have been filming for three months and I cannot stop giving thanks…”
Carmen Villalobos also took on the challenge of playing Alejandra Maldonado
After conquering the public with her performances in major productions such as The End of Paradise and the remake of Café con aroma de mujer, the woman from Barranquilla wanted to take on a new challenge, which she saw fulfilled in this proposal:
“After Coffee with the aroma of a woman, I came from making an antagonist and I looked at the sky and: ‘God, I want something else that I haven’t done so far.’ I needed to do a leading role with comedy and how nice it would be to do it. They called me about this adaptation and I said, ‘This is the perfect character.’ This is another facet in which they have never seen Carmen Villalobos. I know the public will be delighted.»
