Andrés Wiese's personal details

Early career

Andrés Wiese did not come to acting overnight. He grew up in Lima in a family with a prominent surname —the Wieses are one of the best known families of German origin in Peru, historically tied to the business and financial world— although Andrés chose the artistic path.

His first steps in front of the cameras came in smaller productions before América Televisión opened the big door for him. It was his ability to connect with young audiences, combined with his looks and his naturalness on camera, that led him to land the role that would change his life.

Before stardom, Wiese went through the process almost every emerging Peruvian actor faces: castings, small parts and learning to work under pressure on demanding shooting sets.

Professional career and achievements

His role as Nicolás Gonzáles De Las Casas in Al Fondo Hay Sitio turned him into a television phenomenon. The series, produced by Del Barrio Producciones for América Televisión, dominated Peruvian prime time for several years and had a very successful revival from 2022.

Main achievements of his career:

• ✅ Lead in one of the longest-running and most watched series on Peruvian TV
• ✅ Establishment as a figure of national entertainment in the youth bracket
• ✅ Constant media presence in entertainment programmes and the showbiz press
• ✅ Building an active community on social media with thousands of followers
• ✅ Recognition as one of the most influential Peruvian actors of his generation

He also took part in the programme Mujeres al Mando on Latina Televisión, widening his presence on the small screen beyond his acting role. In cinema, he debuted in 2014 with the film A los 40, directed by Bruno Ascenzo, which became the second most watched film in the history of Peruvian cinema.

Business side

Beyond acting, Andrés Wiese has moved into the business world more than once. In 2017 he founded, along with three friends, a company initially devoted to producing ice which later expanded into selling bottled water for supermarkets. In 2020 he partnered with his father to launch Veda Kombucha, a probiotic drink based on green tea and fresh fruit, widening his profile beyond television into the healthy drinks sector.

Personal life

Andrés Wiese's private life always generated media interest. He had a relationship with Mayra Goñi, a Peruvian singer and actress, which was one of the couples most followed by the showbiz press while it lasted.

However, the most complicated chapter of his personal life came in 2020, when a 17-year-old girl reported him over content he had allegedly sent her on social media and his former co-star Mayra Couto publicly accused him of harassment. The case generated a wide debate in Peru about the behaviour of public figures on social networks. Wiese denied the accusations and both investigations were shelved in February 2022, but the episode did affect his image.

Like other actors in his circle such as Austin Palao, Wiese has had to navigate the constant exposure that comes with being a public figure in the social media era.
