	Actors - Alfredo Casero

Alfredo Casero (born 1963 in Vicente López, Buenos Aires Province) is a famous Argentine musician, actor and comedian.

Casero started studying acting with Norman Brinski in 1987. Soon after he started working in the underground humour scene of Buenos Aires. In 1992 he started, among with other humorist the delirious comic show De la Cabeza ("Out of their minds") which later continued as Cha Cha Cha in 1995. In parallel with the TV show he starts working in his musical project, and also working in a radio show.

The cancelation of Cha Cha Cha in 1997 marks the end of an era and famous characters such as Manhatan Ruiz, Minister of Economy. Delicatessen and Todo x2 pesos were shows that took much of the former Cha Cha Cha and De la Cabeza, including many actors.

He became quite famous outside of his country in 2002 when he recorded a Japanese song, Shima Uta, entirely in Japanese. It was the first single from his album, Casaerius. The song became a huge hit in Argentina, where it was chosen as the anthem for the national football team to represent the country at the 2002 FIFA World Cup, in South Korea and Japan.

He was featured, along with Japanese rock band The Boom (authors of Shima Uta) and Japanese-Argentine folk singer Claudia Oshiro on the Japanese New Year's Eve television show, Kōhaku Uta Gassen, in its 53rd edition (New Year's Eve, December 2002).
