‘Operación Triunfo’ Finalist Martin Urrutia on His ‘Mariliendre’ Acting Debut, First Studio Album and Joining Los Javis’ ‘Welcoming, Brave and Inclusive’ Creative Community
Currently making its international debut at Series Mania, “Mariliendre” is the latest boundary-pushing series produced by Suma Content and Los Javis – the creative minds behind “Veneno,” “La Mesías,” and “Paquita Salas.”
The six-episode musical comedy-drama, directed and co-written by Javier Ferreiro, is a vibrant love letter to friendship, queer identity, body positivity and Madrid’s famous Chueca nightlife in the 2000s. It also marks the high-profile acting debut of “Operación Triunfo” finalist Martin Urrutia.
Variety recently caught up with Urrutia, only a few days before his 20th birthday on March 30, to discuss stepping into scripted television for the first time, the unique musical challenges of “Mariliendre” and the show’s growing international buzz.
Variety: First off, congratulations on the series’ debuts last week in Málaga and this week at Series Mania. This is your first scripted role. How did the whole thing come about?
Martin Urrutia: Yes, it’s my first professional acting role.
