Occupation Actor

Asier Gómez Etxeandia (born 27 June 1975) is a Spanish actor, whose work encompasses television, theatre and cinema.

Biography

Asier Etxeandia took his first acting course in a Biscayan school.[1]

Asier Etxeandia left his native Basque Country and moved to Madrid when he was 20 years old. In Madrid he first worked as a sex shop assistant while also taking acting classes. In 1995, he debuted on TV as a contestant in the game show Uno para todas (Telecinco), presented by Goyo González. The production company Globomedia hired him for the first season of Un Paso Adelante, where he played Beni, a gay student who enrolls in a Performing Arts school to become an actor. Etxeandia left the series because he feared becoming typecast. In spite of this, he recognises that this role opened doors and got him his first friends in the business, among them actress Natalia Millán.[2]

Natalia Millán thought of him for the adaptation of musical play Cabaret, that she was also going to star in, offering him the role of Master of Ceremonies. In this production he also worked with Manuel Flag and Emilio Alonso León.

In film he landed a role in Pedro Almodóvar's Broken Embraces, a small role as a blind waiter that eventually was not included in the final cut, but which is included as additional content in the DVD release.
