I have covered Netflix’s international originals slate for years, and Argentine comedy has historically been the most underestimated corner of that catalog. Carizzma just changed that conversation permanently. Here is a full breakdown of every main cast member and the character they play.
Argentina’s most chaotic influencer just landed on Netflix. Here is who plays who.
Show: Carizzma (original title: Carisima)
Streaming: Netflix - available now in 190+ countries
Format: 10 episodes, approx. 10 minutes each
Country: Argentina
Directors: Nano Garay Santalo, Federico Suarez
Language: Spanish (English subtitles available)
1. Julian Kartun as Caro Pardiaco
Role: Lead
The beating heart of the show. Caro is a bubbly, over-the-top influencer and streaming queen hitting a very loud midlife crisis at 30. Kartun has played this character for 14 years across Argentine digital comedy, and he brings extraordinary depth to the chaos. The directors resist rapid-cut editing and keep him in extended dialogue against actors playing it completely straight, which forces the character to earn every laugh in real time. She earns them.
2. Alex Pelao as Leo
Role: Lead
The romantic wildcard who crashes Caro’s birthday party and her emotional stability. Leo is a seemingly charming man carrying multiple personalities and psychopathic tendencies who becomes the distorted mirror of Caro’s own identity crisis. Pelao plays him with the kind of smile that makes you laugh and then immediately feel uneasy about having laughed. It is a difficult tonal balance to hold and he holds it across every episode.
3. Iara Portillo as Ana
Role: Supporting lead
One of Caro’s closest friends navigating the messy influencer world alongside her. Portillo brings grounded warmth that keeps the show anchored when things spiral into full absurdist chaos. The friendship dynamic between Portillo and Kartun gives the series much of its emotional centre.
4. Julian Doregger as Ensemble
Role: Supporting cast
Part of the core ensemble surrounding Caro and Leo, contributing to the comedic rhythm of the Buenos Aires social scene the show renders so vividly. Appears across the central storyline as part of Caro’s world of appearances and nightlife.
5. Anita B Queen as Friend group
Role: Supporting cast
A key member of Caro’s inner circle who reacts to the spiralling chaos of Leo’s arrival and Caro’s birthday meltdown with the full range of emotions the situation demands. Part of the ensemble that makes the Buenos Aires influencer world feel lived-in and believable.
6. Evitta Luna as Influencer circle
Role: Supporting cast
Embedded in the main social scene tied to Caro’s lifestyle. Part of the world of appearances, excess, and media exposure the show gleefully satirises. Luna contributes to the texture of the city backdrop that makes Carizzma feel genuinely rooted in its setting.
7. Dario Sztajnszrajber as Scene-stealer
Role: Supporting cast
A renowned public philosopher whose presence in a short-form comedy signals that the creative team takes its own intellectual register far more seriously than the surface admits. That is a pointed creative choice. It tells you everything about the kind of show this actually is underneath the sparkle and chaos. One of the boldest casting decisions in the series.
8. Gaston Pauls as Ensemble anchor
Role: Supporting cast
A beloved Argentine screen veteran who supplies legacy-television gravity to the edges of the story. Alongside Charo Lopez, Pauls grounds the wilder comedic energy of the younger cast in a way that feels deliberate and earned. His presence gives the ensemble real weight.
9. Julian Lucero as Principal cast
Role: Supporting cast + co-writer
Part of the core group orbiting Caro’s lifestyle and emotional breakdown. Lucero also serves as one of the show’s screenwriters, bringing a dual creative role to the production that gives his performance an added layer of intentionality. One of the key architects of the show’s voice.
10. Charo Lopez as Grounding presence
Role: Supporting cast
Provides a more grounded, seasoned contrast to Caro’s chaotic influencer persona. Alongside Gaston Pauls, Lopez brings the kind of legacy screen credibility that elevates the whole ensemble and reminds you this is a show made by people who genuinely understand Argentine screen culture.
