## Early life

His father had an independent theater, Teatro de la calle Rincón. He worked in the municipality and lived in the province. He stayed there and had a mattress under the stage. His mother was a co-worker in the municipality and had been married for nine years to an engineer. When Cáceres was a child, he watched his father work. He performed in a play called El hombre y sus muñecos and had already learned the librettos. Cáceres completed his secondary studies at the Instituto Medalla Milagrosa. At eleven he began to work in theater.

## Career

When he was nine years old, the Pharmaceutical Union opened a free course and Cáceres attended. He studied with Alejandra Boero and at age ten, when he met her, Boero asked him why he wanted to be an actor. Some time later his son Alejandro Samek premiered the play Heredarás el viento, which was the first play in which he performed.
In 2012, he starred in Graduados, a popular telenovela on Telefe, where he starred alongside Daniel Hendler and Nancy Dupláa.

Between 2023 and 2024, he starred in the comedy play, El Beso (The Kiss), which gained much media attention for his kiss with co-star, Luciano Castro.
