Artium Talent has signed actor Benjamin Levy Aguilar for representation across TV, film, and theatre.
Aguilar is widely recognized for his performance as Dante Torres on NBC’s long-running hit police procedural Chicago P.D. After first appearing as a recurring character, Aguilar was promoted to series regular in Season 10. The Guatemalan-born actor is currently in production on the show’s 13th season alongside Jason Beghe, Marina Squerciati, LaRoyce Hawkins, and Arienne Mandi, also an Artium Talent client.
The Universal Television and Wolf Entertainment production, Chicago P.D., follows the men and women of the Chicago Police Department’s elite Intelligence unit, led by Sergeant Hank Voight (Beghe), combating the city’s most heinous offenses – organized crime, drug trafficking, high-profile murders, and beyond.
Chicago P.D.’s midseason finale (Season 13, Episode 7), “Impulse Control,” aired on November 12 and will continue the season with new episodes beginning January 7. The series airs on One Chicago Wednesdays following Chicago Med at 8 p.m. and Chicago Fire at 9 p.m.
Aguilar’s breakout role was as Antonio Rivera on Fox’s Filthy Rich, developed by Tate Taylor, and starring Kim Cattrall and Gerald McRaney. He went on to work alongside Kristen Bell in Netflix’s dark comedic thriller The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl with the Window, playing character Rex Bakke.
Before becoming an actor, Aguilar was a talented athlete in his youth, playing with the AC Milan soccer youth team in Italy. He is an advocate for gender equality and an ambassador for the UN’s HeForShe initiative.
