Víctor Bó (born 8 April 1943) is an Argentine actor and film producer. He is the son of classic actor and director
Armando Bó, and father and uncle of Academy Award Winners for Best Original Screenplay
Armando Bo and
Nicolás Giacobone, respectively. Bo is retired from acting.
Biography
Bó broke into acting aged 16 in 1959, in the film ''... y el Demonio creó a los hombres'', and costarred in several films directed by his father and starring
Isabel Sarli. In 1971 he appeared in ''
Así es Buenos Aires'', and achieved greater fame as one of the protagonists in the ''Superagentes'' ("Super Agents") saga of spy-adventure films (1974–1983). He played villain roles for two movies in a series of nine
sword and sorcery films that
Roger Corman produced in Argentina during the 1980s, in association with
Aries Cinematográfica Argentina: ''
Deathstalker'' (1983) and the classic

Barbarian Queen'' (1984).
Bó started to distance himself from acting after the release of the comic-based comedy film ''
Las Puertitas del señor López'' (1988), and turned into film production. He helped produce two movies directed by
Jorge Polaco: the controversial cult film ''
Kindergarten'' (1989), which was deemed "obscene", "bordering on pornography" and censored by a judge's order at the time of its release, resulting in a 30-year ban for the film, which was officially released in 2010; and the black comedy ''

'' (1992), which was a critical and commercial failure at the time of its release, but has slowly gained some critical reappraisal over the years.
Except for a few roles on TV series or documentary interviews, and a supporting role in a new ''Superagentes'' film (''Los superagentes, nueva generación'', 2008), Bó has been mostly retired from the filmmaking world in any capacity, focusing instead in being interviewed and appearing in film retrospectives and showings dedicated to his father Armando's body of work.
