At that time he had previously participated in independent theater groups with plays by playwrights such as Max Aub and Fernando Arrabal. From then on, his professional career was mainly linked to the world of theater (The Zarzuela and Spanish Variety Shows). At that time he alternated his professional activities with work in the cinema and television, and most recently, as an actor and speaker at the Complutense University of Madrid.[1]

Later, he played as a supporting actor in several films directed by Fernando Fernán Gómez, such as Out of play in 1991, The woman of your life in 1994 and Nightmare for a rich man, in 1996.
