Carnaghi was born on 13 May 1938, in
Avellaneda. He studied acting at the school of the
Teatro Municipal de San Isidro and the
National School of Drama, where he graduated in 1966. Roberto Carnaghi got his start in advertising at the James Walter Thompson advertising agency. He was initially rejected, as his face was not up to standards, but he was eventually hired, and worked in nearly 100 advertisements, promoting brands such as
Ford and
Citroen. His work allowed him to work in TV in the 1980s, as well as some minor film roles. He became famous with his jobs at the talk shows of
Tato Bores. He has worked in several genres and mediums along the years; his work with Tato Bores was comedic and his contemporary theater plays were dramas. He worked in the 2006 Argentine telenovela
Montecristo, and his character referenced the kidnapping of babies of the Argentine guerrillas killed during the 1970s
Dirty War. Although he is completely against such action, he tried to avoid making his character inherently evil, proposed to include in the script that he was married to an
infertile wife. In 2012 he took part in the successful telenovela
Graduados. Carnaghi and
Mirta Busnelli played the parents of a Jewish family; he pointed that his relation with his sons differs from his character. He received a
Tato Award as supporting actor, and he was declared a "featured personality of culture" by the legislature of the Buenos Aires city. This recognition, proposed by the legislator
María José Lubertino, is complemented by a similar one from his home neighbourhood of
Villa Urquiza. •
