    Teresa Riott, from a chic lesbian in Valeria to the Cocaine Queen of Los Miami in El Inmortal

In Spain, there is plenty of talent, which is why we cyclically discover new outstanding artists in their field, even when they do not initially meet the standard requirements to succeed.

JuanLu González (Córdoba, 1991)

is red-haired and has an Andalusian accent

, but he doesn't lack work because, just like Spain, he has plenty of

art

.

We put a face on him in

La Otra Mirada

, the first thing he did for TVE, where he played Ramón, an "old Sevillian" in a period series with a feminist theme.

His was a great premiere, since his character had

several replicas with the fabulous actress Patricia López Arnaiz

, recently awarded a Goya.

Then it became known, because JuanLu became famous with

Valeria

, the Netflix series for thirtysomethings that is already shooting its third season.

"I'm not famous enough yet to be bothered by being recognized, it's true that

Valeria

gave me popularity because of the platform on which it's broadcast... but come on, I also did a daily series last year,

Two Lives

, for the La Primera desktop, and

you would be surprised by the number of people who see the soap opera: men and women

".

JuanLu González is a very peculiar case among his colleagues.

He is not the typical young man who wanted to be an actor since he was a child and came to Madrid to try his luck.

He studied architecture in Seville

and later worked in the capital in the RedBull marketing department.

He hadn't even thought about acting.

That was five years ago.

"Once, I presented a gala for the company during a national convention... They encouraged me to do it, it was an internal thing and I joined the project.

The HR director of RedBull

was a friend of an agent of actors and after seeing me in the gala wanted to introduce her to me. This girl is Carmen, my current representative. She took me to a casting of Eva Leira and Yolanda Serrano that was for

La Otra Mirada

and i got it.

And that I prepared the role as best I could.

I didn't even know what a reprint was!"

JuanLu is a lucky guy, in his family there was no displeasure because he left his career as an architect to dedicate himself to his late vocation, for which he later trained with the

Argentine teacher Fernando Piernas

.

"My parents have an actor son, who is also an architect. I have had an architecture studio with a colleague for four years. I help him as much as I can, as an adviser or counselor, because I don't really work. I do it so as not to detach myself from the guild and because I want to continue being part of it... I have close friends who are dedicated to this...

That yes, I like the interpretation more

", he affirms.

The Cordovan has just finished shooting the third season of

La Caza

, "a choral series, many actors play the inhabitants of a town in the Sierra de Huelva, there is a lot of Andalusian in the cast".

Precisely JuanLu

has always played Andalusian

, he has not yet embodied a man without an accent to date.

"I am able to neutralize it, I have practiced a lot. It is cool because it puts you in the shoes of other characters. The voice is very important, the body position, etc. I have prepared myself for it when they indicate it in the casting. But if they do not tell me nothing, I play Andalusian because the world is full of people from everywhere. Now that is overcome, before the accent was neutralized".

JuanLu, who

admires Antonio Dechén

among the actors from his land, also praises the work of other important performers such as "Javier Bardem, Luis Zahera, Eduard Fernández, Javier Gutiérrez, Isaac Férriz".

What he has liked most lately in film and television have been

The good boss

and

Riot police

.

As a good hyperactive, he does a lot of sports, "I give him a cane, yes... It's rare the day that I don't do anything, unless I'm filming".

Professionally, nothing escapes him: he is the image of the last campaign of the Ramón Bilbao wineries, although he prefers to make movies.

"But hey, if the project is interesting and it's a brand that I consume and I feel like it, of course I'll do it."

Don't lose sight of this boy.

Just five years in this and they raffle it off.
