and with a script by Santos Mercero, the actor
Fernando Gil
played him in his youth and maturity stage and the actors
Enrique Aragonés
and
Patrick Criado
gave life to Juan Carlos as a
child and adolescent, respectively.
The cast was completed with
José Luis García-Pérez
playing Don Juan de Borbón,
Cristina Brondo
in the role of Doña Sofía,
Adriana Torrebejano
as an Italian aristocrat with whom a young Juan Carlos fell in love in the 1950s;
Marta Belaustegui
as Doña María de las Mercedes;
and
