Luis Alberto García Novoa

Popular Cuban actor with one of the most solid acting careers in Cuba of all time. Since his appearance on screen and in theaters, he has become one of the most important and popular stage performers.

Graduated in 1984 from the Instituto Superior de Arte (ISA), in the specialty of Acting.

He has ventured into all media and has demonstrated that he can master a wide range of acting styles. His characters range from undercover police officers to frustrated bikers and he has navigated both lyrical interpretation and comedy.

His proximity to other fields such as painting, filmmaking, music and literature are widely known. His restless spirit led him to create one of the most complete documentaries ever dedicated to the historian of the City of Havana Eusebio Leal Spengler. "Leal al Tiempo"
