Life and career

[edit]

Diego Anido Alonso was born on 8 May 1976 in Santiago de Compostela.[2][3] He began his training as an actor at Espazo Aberto, developing his early career on stage.[4] He moved to Barcelona, where he involved in the development of experimental theatre works.[4]

Early film credits include appearances in Pedro e o Capitán (2009) and Trote (2018).[5] In Ons (2020), he featured in a minor role portraying a deaf character.[6] He also featured in Malencolía (2021) and O niño dos paxaros (2021),[5] winning a Mestre Mateo Award for his supporting performance in the former film.[7]

His breakthrough role was his portrayal of sinister and mentally-handicapped Lorenzo Anta in Rodrigo Sorogoyen's The Beasts.[5][6] He was not a first choice for the character. Originally cast in a minor role, he took over the role of Lorenzo after Pedro Alonso left it vacant.[6] His performance earned him a nomination for the Goya Award for Best Supporting Actor, lost to fellow cast member Luis Zahera.[6] His career continued with a role in the Netflix series Gangs of Galicia, portraying a middle-rank member of the Padín drug-trafficking clan.[8]

He played the ETA member Sergio Polo in the thriller Undercover (2024).[1]
