Arana was born in Buenos Aires, grew up in Monte Grande and moved with his family to Lomas de Zamora and then Lanús. He studied acting with Marcello Lavalle and Augusto Fernandez.

In his first years as an actor, he was part of a theatre group called "Errare Humanum Est" and he acted in films such as El Santo de la Espada (1970) and La tregua (1974).

In the 1980s, he became popular for his part in an advertisement for Crespi wine, and then for his part in the TV sitcom Matrimonios y algo más, created by Hugo Moser, in which he played two characters who were highly acclaimed by the public: the "Groncho" (in the comedy sketch "El Groncho y La Dama" (The Shabby Man and the Lady)) and Huguito Araña (a stereotypically feminine gay man).

He has worked on the Telefé TV series Los exitosos Pells, where he played the director of the fictitious channel "Mega News", Franco Andrada.[1][2]

gollark: But evolved biological stuff is complex, generally involves weird tradeoffs and things randomly related to other things, and is generally not designed for simple maintenence.
gollark: You probably can do a lot better than evolution has at working in *our current environment*, where food supply is mostly a non-issue but thinking is a lot more important, at least.
gollark: "Benefits" are generally pretty subjective.
gollark: Bulldozer was kind of bad.
gollark: I don't think that would have been top of the line in 2012 anyway.
