Biography

Born in the picturesque region of Extremadura, a person's life took a dramatic turn when they relocated to the charming city of Córdoba, where they resided for a period of two years before making the bold decision to migrate to the vibrant capital of Madrid. This pivotal move was motivated by a burning desire to pursue higher education in the field of political sciences.

As they delved into their university studies, an unexpected passion for the performing arts began to emerge. The individual decided to take the leap and enroll at the prestigious EOC, a renowned acting school. This marked the beginning of a remarkable journey that would ultimately lead them to the silver screen.

Their cinematic debut was a minor yet significant role in the film "Rosa de Lima" released in 1962. Initially, their early career was characterized by a series of loose, albeit crucial, appearances, with a preponderance of villainous characters. However, from the 1980s onwards, they began to feature in more ambitious and controversial films, gradually ascending to a position of paramount importance within the Spanish acting landscape.
