didn’t enter the film world until he was 50 years-old, although he had

In 1991 he returned to make an appearance in a film by Henry Urbizu: “Todo por la pasta”. Since then his career has been deeply attached to films, working with such directors as, Julio Medem, Pello Varela and Montxo Armendariz.
He has been an actor who has devoted much time in television acting in the popular series of TVE, ‘Cuéntame cómo pasó’.
