CLAUDIO
CATAÑO

เคลาดิโอ กาตันโญ

From Colombian television to Macondo

An actor, writer and director working across screen stories.

A career in front of and behind the camera

Claudio Cataño is a Colombian actor, writer and director. Alongside screen acting, he has worked behind the camera; Colombian film records identify him as the director of Virginia Casta (2017).

His acting credits include the television series A mano limpia and Comando Élite. Those productions form part of a career that has moved between Colombian television and film.

In Netflix’s adaptation of Gabriel García Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude, Cataño plays Colonel Aureliano Buendía, a figure whose story belongs to the generations of the Buendía family in Macondo. Netflix’s production material identifies him in the role and records his reflections on the responsibility of portraying the character.
