About Me
My work is my passion, and that passion fuels my life. Throughout my career, have consistently aimed to connect with my audience and captivate them through my performances. Since 2005, I have been a professional stage, but my journey in the performing arts began long before then. Explore my training and experience below.
I was born in San Sebastián, Spain.
I was 6 years old when I first got on stage just to say a short line. The crowd laughed at my joke and I found something new in my life. I will never forget that moment. The feeling of me making people happy while they were watching me was the best thing I had discovered so far.
Eight years after that I had the chance to learn more about theater in high school (like everybody else, I guess) but it wasn’t enough for me.
After my high school classes I started a two-year program, where I discovered the roots of acting and the most most important authors in history: Euripides, Sophocles, Aeschylus, Shakespeare, and all the biggest Spanish writers in Spain.
Someone told me if I want learn more about theater and acting, I should go to the best school in Spain, which was in Madrid.
Then when I finished my two-year program, I did the admissions audition and I passed it. I felt really fortunate to have the chance to learn Cristina Rota, the Argentinian actress who founded that school in Spain.
In the Cristina Rota School I spent four years learning to create a character from my own experiences, control my body, and use it on stage.
One of the best experiences in that school was when every Friday and Saturday we had a performance for audiences, but the good thing it was if the crowd didn’t like the scene or performances, then they could throw tomatoes at the actors. Stage fright?
After those four years and working on different plays and tv, I had my first gift:
my daughter. A year after that, my wife and I decided to move to New York, start a new life, and of course I wanted to continue acting by starting my career here. There was one problem though, I didn’t know too much English back then. This was a tremendous problem for me, as an actor trying to express my feelings acting in a different language besides my own.
Today, more than 10 years after that tough beginning and a with a second child , I mustered my courage and I decided to get back on my feet to the place I belong.
The place that makes me happy, making other people happy.
