Early life edit

Vogrincic was born on 22 March 1993 in the Casavalle neighbourhood of Montevideo to Guillermo Vogrincic, a former professional footballer who played for Montevideo Wanderers, and Silvia Roldán Risotto.[2][3] Vogrincic is of maternal Spanish-Italian and paternal Slovene descent;[4] his grandfather's family migrated from Murska Sobota to Montevideo during World War II.[5] Vogrincic has three siblings: Aníbal, Viviana, and a younger brother.[6] Vogrincic began acting in his teens while attending the Liceo Jubilar Juan Pablo II, a high school in the city of Montevideo.[7] In 2013, at the age of 20, he enrolled at the Margarita Xirgu Multidisciplinary School of Dramatic Art.[8]

Career edit

Vogrincic has mainly developed his acting career in the theater.[9] In 2018 he had a minor participation in the film A Twelve-Year Night and has since acted in independent films.[10] In 2021 he starred in the film 9 playing a professional footballer inspired by Luis Suárez.[11] The film was awarded the Best International Film Award at the 8th British National Film Awards.[12]

In addition, Vogrincic has appeared in the Amazon Prime Video television series Yosi, the Regretful Spy and Porno y helado.[13] In 2023, he gained relevance when he was announced as part of the cast of the survival thriller film Society of the Snow, based on Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 that crashed in the Andes Mountains in 1972.[14] It was then announced that he would play Numa Turcatti —the last passenger to die—[15] and that he would be the narrator of the film.[16][17] [18]
