In 1967 he was directed by Carlos Saura in “Stress es tres, tres”, to work in 1969 under the orders of the best Spanish-speaking director Luis Buñuel in Tristana.
He appeared for the first time on television in 1963 in an episode of the series ‘Sospecha’ and from that moment on his appearances in the television medium that brought him great popularity were regular, especially for his leading role in Antonio Mercero's series ‘Crónicas de un pueblo’ (1971-1973).
