La Banda del Golden Rocket


La banda del Golden Rocket was a 1991 Argentine TV series.

Premise

The main characters were Diego, Adrián and Fabian, three distant cousins who dd not know each other, until they received a common heritage from their grandfather: an old '57 yellow Oldsmobile Golden Rocket 88, dubbed the "Golden Rocket". The three cousins begin the work of maintaining the car, and have romantic affairs.

Impact on the actors

Although the main characters are named after the actors playing them, they were not starring as themselves; in fact, they were novice actors at the time. Even so, Diego Torres had some roles as a singer within the plot, and became a successful professional singer after the ending of the series. Similarly, the character Adrián had a romance within the series with "Pato", a character played by Araceli Gonzalez. Suar and González had a real romance afterwards, and got married.
Torres, Suar and Vena reunited in 2011 for some episodes of Los únicos. They did not play again their former characters, Suar and Vena were already recurring guest actors, and Torres was invited as well. Nevertheless, they made metafictional references to the old series, mainly the use of a similar car. The car, although similar to the one used twenty years before, was in fact a different one, as the owner of the previous car refused to give or rent it.
