He later appeared in the hit teen drama, Montaña rusa, and in the mid-1990s, enrolled in a theatre school, mentored by esteemed professionals Santiago Doria and Alfredo Zemma of the Argentine Actors' Association.
Amigorena's breakthrough in the theatre scene came in 1995, as he became a prolific stage actor, showcasing his talents in notable productions, including a 1998 local production of German playwright Frank Wedekind's Spring Awakening, and a compressed Shakespeare production from 2004 to 2006, earning him Argentine ACE and Clarín Awards.
