Rodolfo Sancho has returned to work after the murder of his son Edwin Arrieta in Thailand, whose sentence will be known on August 29. The actor from “El Ministerio del Tiempo” is currently promoting his new movie, “Un paseo por el Borne,” directed by Nick Igea, which is set to premiere this Friday, July 26. The film follows a filmmaker who is shunned by the industry, and Sancho has reflected on his own situation.
When asked about the apparent parallels between the character he portrays and his own life, Sancho responded, “There may be. There is always a personal aspect in everything you do.”
Regarding his professional career, he honestly admits that he doesn’t know how his son’s tragedy will affect him. He mentions turning down a series due to scheduling issues but emphasizes that being offered the job is what matters most.
Sancho expresses his frustration with the current focus on his personal life, stating that he is still trying to process everything. He questions why his personal life is of interest to the public, emphasizing that he has never sought attention for his personal affairs.
The actor participated in a documentary about his son’s case on HBO to cover legal expenses in Thailand, but he feels conflicted about the attention his personal life has garnered as a result.
Sancho criticizes the media for distorting facts and inventing stories, emphasizing the impact of negative press on his personal life.
In the past year, Sancho starred in the TVE series “Zorro,” playing the role of a villain. The series was filmed before his son’s crime, and the defense during the trial aimed to prove that the murder was not premeditated to avoid harsh penalties.
The legal battles between Sancho and his ex-wife, Silvia Bronchalo, have added to the family’s struggles during this difficult time. Recently, a domestic violence complaint filed by Bronchalo against Sancho was dismissed by a judge in Alcobendas.
As the sentencing date approaches, Sancho continues to navigate the challenges of balancing his personal life with his professional obligations in the public eye. Despite the hardships, he remains focused on his work and is grateful for the opportunities that come his way.
