Topics: Argentine film directors
Jorge Nisco (born March 6th 1956 in Buenos Aires) is an Argentine director.
Jorge Nisco started his career in 1997, when he met actor Adrian Suar, who pitched him an idea for a TV show called "R.R.D.T". The show starred name actors Carlos Calvo, China Zorrilla, Jose "Pepe" Soriano, Nancy Duplaa and Diego Peretti, and brought Nisco to prominence in the Argentine film industry. That very same year he directed his first and so far only film, Comodines, based on another of Suar's "ideas" as he is thus credited. The movie reunited most of the cast of "R.R.D.T.", with Suar and Calvo in the leads, as well as veteran character actor Alejandro Awada.
In 1999, Nisco directed his first mini-series, El Hombre, which also spun from an original idea by Suar. Adrian Suar would go on to collaborate with his "original ideas" in 10 of the 13 TV series and mini-series Nisco directed from 1999 to 2007, occasionally acting in them as well.
