He has worked as a professional actor in feature films such as “Juan Apóstol, el más amado” (Conrado Martínez, 2016), “The Sisters Brothers” (Jacques Audiard, 2018), “Jesús de Nazaret” (Rafael Lara, 2019), “Domino” (Brian De Palma, 2019), “Way Down” (Jaume Balagueró, 2021), “Con los años que me queda” (Frank Ariza, 2022) and “Camino a Belén” (Adam Anders, 2023); and in the short films “Strange Way of Life” (Pedro Almodóvar, 2023), “Blessing, Blood and Mother-of-Pearl” (Andrés Macho, 2024) and “Cursed Revenue” (Andrés Macho, 2024), among others.

He is now immersed in the final editing of his first film, “A Dream Come True”, a feature film that he has produced and directed himself, by his own means. The actor's mustache is something that characterizes him. Toni assures that with that mustache he has never lacked work, because of its resemblance to a Mexican profile.

As for his personal life, he married Doris, with whom he has 2 daughters and a son (Rosi, Doris and José Antonio), and 2 grandchildren (Juanjo and Álvaro).
