The film «Society of the Snow» by Spanish star director J. A. Bayona seems to have come to stay as one of those films that mark a before and after with its release. The acclaimed director’s movie stands strong after other successes like «The Impossible» and «A Monster Calls,» with the aim of surprising the audience from the first minute and telling a story that leaves no one indifferent.

On January 23, it was announced that the Spanish film, based on real events, is nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, alongside other titles such as «Perfect Days» or «The Zone of Interest.» And as usual, it is inevitable not to focus on Enzo Vogrincic, the film’s protagonist, who plays the character Numa Turcatti, with significant importance in the plot and in the real-life experiences of the crew of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571.

All About Enzo Vogrincic

Enzo Vogrincic was born in 1993, and at 30, he is already experiencing one of the highest points in his career. The Uruguayan actor always wanted to dedicate himself to the world of acting, even though his father was a footballer. Thus, he studied Dramatic Art and began his journey through the country’s theaters, participating in plays such as «La Ronda,» «Galgos,» «Cuando Pases Sobre Mi Tumba,» and «Subterránea,» among others.

It was in 2018 when he made the leap to cinema with the film «La Noche de 12 Años,» directed by Álvaro Brechner. In it, the military dictatorship that Uruguay was subjected to in 1973 is addressed, and Enzo Vogrincic plays a police officer in the plot, albeit in a role with brief prominence.

In 2022, his first leading role came with the film «9,» written and directed by Martín Barrenechea and Nicolás Branca. In this project, Enzo played Christian Arias, a successful footballer trying to balance the success of his career with the pressure to sustain it.

Similarly, Enzo has appeared in series such as «Porno y Helado,» «Iosi, el espía arrepentido,» and «El Presidente,» among others, as well as in short films like «Noctilucas.»

Now, this year Enzo Vogrincic has seen the greatest success of a project he has been involved in. And it’s no wonder: to play his role as Numa in «Society of the Snow,» the young actor had to lose 23 kilos, in addition to facing all the psychological challenges that come with portraying such a significant drama.

Connection with Aitana

Just a few days ago, rumors circulated on social media after seeing the Spanish pop diva Aitana and Enzo Vogrincic at the same time in Paris, enjoying an afternoon at the Eiffel Tower.

But that wasn’t the only reason why the singer was linked to the actor: the members of the plane crew to the French city took pictures with both artists, although in separate images.

For now, no further details are known about this encounter, as it could be a coincidence during Paris Men’s Fashion Week, where Vogrincic, who already has over a million followers on his Instagram, is participating as the face of Loewe.
