Actor of Cuban origin, Oscar Isaac shines in "Suburbicon" by George Clooney

Oscar winners Matt Damon and Julianne Moore star in the black comedy Suburbicon, co-written by Clooney and his partner Grant Heslov, along with the Coen brothers. The film is one of the great projects of the year, and represents another example of the rise to the forefront in Hollywood of the Cuban-Guatemalan actor Óscar Isaac.

The film talks about desire, racism and double standards in a colorful North American suburb of the 1950s, a time that takes on special semitones in this satirical film, determined to show the darkest side of the upper class medieros districts through the suspense, the black humor, and social commentary on a period seldom judged so rigorously.

Full name Oscar Isaac Hernández Estrada, born in March 1979 in Guatemala City, Cuban father and Guatemalan mother, the actor and singer moved to Miami when he was only four months old.

In Miami, he played the guitar and sang for his band The Blinking Underdogs, until, several years later, he graduated in the specialty of theater in the prestigious school of music and performing arts Juilliard of New York in 2005.

He had small roles in film and television, while he did in theater two works of Shakespeare. In 2009, his career began to take off thanks to his role in Ágora, by Alejandro Amenábar, in which he shared a poster with Rachel Weisz. He then shared deal with Russell Crowe in the new version of Robin Hood, and was led by Madonna in W.E.

But the consecration came with lavish reviews for his work on Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) by the Coen brothers, which earned him another Golden Globe nomination. Written and directed by the Coen brothers, Inside Llewyn Davis consecrated it on paper of a talented but unsuccessful folk singer in a drama set in 1961. The film won the Grand Prix at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.

In addition to the complex characters in good low budget films, Oscar Isaac had secondary roles in sci-fi and fantasy blockbusters such as Ex Machina, Star Wars: Episode VII-The Force Awakens and X-Men: Apocalypse.
