Benjamín Vicuña of Netflix’s ‘Envious’ Joins Goya Winner Matías Bize’s ‘My Last Stand’

Chilean star Benjamín Vicuña, known for his lead role in the hit Netflix series “Envious,” has joined the cast of “My Last Stand” (“Aquí me bajo yo”), the latest film from Goya-winning director Matías Bize. Filming began Oct. 19, with Vicuña acting alongside 91-year-old Jaime Vadell, a familiar face from Pablo Larraín’s films such as “The Club,” “Neruda,” and “No.” The project marks a significant collaboration between two of Chile’s most prominent screen talents and a veteran actor whose career spans decades of acclaimed cinema. Bize, who won Spain’s top film honor for his work, brings his signature intimate storytelling to this new drama, which is expected to draw international attention given Vicuña’s rising global profile from the Netflix series. The pairing of a young leading man with a nonagenarian character actor suggests a story exploring generational themes, though plot details remain under wraps. For audiences, this film represents a convergence of streaming-era stardom and arthouse pedigree, likely to appeal to fans of both Vicuña’s mainstream appeal and Bize’s festival credentials. With production now underway, industry watchers will be eager to see how “My Last Stand” positions itself for the upcoming awards circuit and global distribution.
