Source-derived summary

Martín Catáneo is a fictional character in the 2012 Argentine telenovela Graduados. He is played by Gastón Soffritti.

Fictional biography

Martín Catáneo was born as the son of Pablo Catáneo and María Laura Falsini, but he discovered at the age of 18 that he was actually the son of Andrés Goddzer, a fellow high school student of her mother, who had sex with him in the graduation night. During the series he adapted to the circumstances of having two parents.

Character creation

Gastón Soffritti worked in Graduados, departing from the teen drama genre, as he wanted to try other ones. He received the proposal while making a short production for América 2. To design his character he had interviews with all the other actors who played roles linked with it; this included most of the cast because his character was a nexus between the two families of the plot, the firm and the school. He praised the actress Nancy Dupláa, who played his mother in the fiction.

Awards

Gastón Soffritti was nominated for the 2012 Tato Award, as new actor.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “soap opera character” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q19571198. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2012.

Critical limits

Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
