BiographyPedro Cernadas (born March 20, 1972, in Viedma, Río Negro, Argentina), better known as Segundo Cernadas, is an Argentine actor and politician.

He was influenced by a show business insider to change his screen name to "Segundo", the name of his favorite fictional character, the protagonist and an actor in Don Segundo Sombra.

Pablo Ponce, a well known Argentine acting instructor, was Cernadas' first professional acting teacher. Soon after, Cernadas was accepted by one of Argentina's top show business academies.

Although Cernadas' main acting interests were in the theatrical area, soon after being accepted by the academy, he made his television debut, acting in Montana Rusa, Otra Vuelta ("Rollercoaster, (let's go) One More Time"). He followed that by participating, as a married medical doctor in 90-60-90 Modelos. In 1997, Cernadas made his third appearance in a telenovela, in Ricos y Famosos ("Rich and Famous"), which became a major international hit. 1998 was an important year in Cernadas' life: after participating in Milady: La Historia Continua ("Milady: The Story Continues)", which was the sequel to Argentine soap opera classic Milady, while considering moving to Mexico to work there, he was convinced to stay in his home country by producer Raúl Lecouna, who offered Cernadas his first starring role as a telenovela actor, in another soap that would become a major hit: Muñeca Brava ("Wild Angel"). This soap opera was successful and that Cernadas travelled across Argentina, and many other countries, to relive his character at various acting venues for the next two years.

In 2000, he played the role of "Bebo" in Los Buscas de Siempre ("The (same) Bullies of Always)". Later on that year, he would once again play a doctor, in Los Medicos de Hoy ("Today's Doctors").Cernadas would not become a major international super-star until 2002, when he flew to Peru to act in Bésame Tonto ("Kiss me, Fool"), alongside Gianella Neyra. The soap opera, which featured romantic, family and mafia twists, became the number one show in many countries, such as the Dominican Republic, Chile, and Panama. In 2003, he participated in Dr. Amor ("Dr. Love") . By 2004, Univision began to show Bésame Tonto in the United States; and Cernadas became the first Argentine actor to star in a Philippine telenovela, when he went to Manila to participate and team-up with Iza Calzado in Te Amo, Maging Sino Ka Man ("I Love You, Whoever You Are").

In 2005 he returned to Argentina and worked at Amor en custodia (2005) and Se dice amor (2006).
