He admits to having a pampered childhood and enjoying the fact his parents gave him many things he asked for.
After overhearing O'Connel talk about her career achievements, Schiavone finally became interested in acting, and he proceeded to tell his mom that he wanted to be on television.
His parents signed him to a talent agency, and he was soon called to participate in various newspaper and magazine ads.
In 1998, Alberto Fernández de Rosa, one of his co-stars in Chiquititas, chose him, after an audition, to join the show as "Patricio".
Chiquititas by then had a large national and international fan base, and Schiavone quickly became a teen idol across Latin America.
