Luis Eduardo Fernández Oliva ^[2](Caracas; March 14, 1967) is a renowned Venezuelan actor, writer, producer, director, and architect, famous for his multiple interpretations for Latin America television, in the world of cinema, for the film Miranda (1985 film), as a writer, for the book trilogy Sexo Sentido, and in theater for his monologue "No eres tú, soy yo".

Luis Fernández, was born on March 14, 1967, in Caracas, Venezuela. Initially he did not think about acting as a future profession, being in fact his professional orientation towards architecture, seeing it more as a "hobby" in acting.

At the age of 17, the future actor began studying architecture at the Simón Bolívar University, then finished his career at Harvard University, at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Ironically, in spite of having obtained the title of Architect, Luis Fernández did not get to practice this profession as such, being that hobby he saw in acting, which would become his true profession.

At the same time as he began his university career, Luis Fernández began his preparation in the theatre by attending a workshop at the same university.

He was also a member of the "Theja" group and also studied at the Ateneo.

This is how the talented actor's career began.

Like the vast majority of Venezuela's greatest actors, Luis Fernández^[4] began his artistic career on the stage.

He performed many plays, among them El Pez que Fuma, El príncipe constante (comedy play), " Cyrano de Bergerac " and " Don Juan Tenorio ", among many others, being considered his career in this field as one of the most extensive and successful.

However, in an impressive exception to the rule in Venezuela, Luis Fernández first entered the world of cinema, before television.

He made his first appearance in the film world in the movie A Dream in the Abyss, only to later rise in multiple other productions during the 90's, being The Kidnapping, Naked with Oranges, The Valley, as well as Blur and a New Account, the most relevant of all the productions.

Even though his start in film and theatre marked the development of a wide career in both media, Luis Fernández also managed to enter the world of television, taking his first steps in the independent production company Marte TV (1991), where he had the opportunity to play both supporting and leading roles.

His first dramatic production was La loba herida (Wounded Wolf), in which he acted as a counter figure together with the main actors, Carlos Montilla and Mariela Alcalá (Venezuelan actress). The following year, Luis Fernández starred in " El paseo de la gracia de Dios " with Nohely Arteaga, and then, in 1994, he was selected again as the main character, since he starred in the dramatic Cruz de nadie.

In 1996, our actor stood out as the main figure in Llovizna, a production in which he teamed up with actress Scarlet Ortiz and where he personified "Orinoco Fuego", a young employee of a large steel company who fell in love with the protagonist, who had been, without knowing it, the daughter of the owner of that industry and powerful tycoon of the population.

By this time, Luis Fernandez, had reaped a variety of successes in his home country, which is why he decided to travel to Los Angeles, where he lived for several years, excelling in television, film and theater.

Among his most impressive and successful works are Ghost story, a TV series from Los Angeles C.A., Don Juan Tenorio, a theatrical version of that story presented at the Los Angeles C.A. Theater "Triunfo y Fama"" (interview program) and "El Secuestro" (Argentinean film), which was very successful and critically acclaimed.

Luis Fernández, introduced himself into a new world, publishing in 2004 the book La cruenta venganza del hombre que todos querían ser (The bloody revenge of the man that everyone wanted to be), a dramatic novel that obtained considerable success.

However, it was with his book, Sexo Sentido (Meaningful Sex), a book in which he sets out his vision of the reality of thought of both the masculine and feminine sexes, regarding the interrelationship of couples, that he consecrated it.

The book became a best-seller in Venezuela and throughout Latin America and opened the door to the publication of two more books on the subject, Sex Sense II, my first five hundred, Sex Sense III, It's Not You, It's Me and the creation and publication of The Sex Sense Calendar.

She is also a recurring columnist for the Venezuelan newspaper El Nacional (Caracas).

Currently, Luis Fernández is fully dedicated to the production of most of his projects, in which he acts in some cases.

His main project has been the famous monologue No eres tú, soy yo, which has been extraordinarily successful, embarking on a tour that has traveled to dozens of countries and has managed to make more than 600 presentations, being the second most successful monologue in all of Latin America, only surpassed by El aplauso va por dentro, the monologue performed by his wife Mimí Lazo.

In the play "The Smoking Fish" (1994), the actor met the woman who is now his wife: the actress Mimi Lazo^[1][3].

Due to the success of this piece, in one of the typical interviews that journalists usually do, the actress pointed out that she would never get romantically involved with a young boy, perhaps alluding to Luis Fernández, since at that time there was a rumor that they both understood each other sentimentally.

Today we see that this was not the case.

For Luis Fernández, this comment represented a challenge: "to conquer that woman who claimed to be unreachable for someone so young"...

And so he did, who not only caught his attention, but managed to legalize the relationship.
