Early life and career

Blaín was born in Havana in 1944. He started as an amateur actor. In 1966, Humberto Solás, who had had success with Manuela, was looking for actors to film Lucía, and he selected Blaín to become part of the cast. He played an important role in the film: second part of the film's Antonio.

He took part on the cast of the Cuban Television, although he has stated that he prefers doing films because that has paved him the way. On stage he met his colleagues and friends Enrique Molina and Enrique Almirante, who share stage in several times.
