In 2012, coinciding with his return from New York and always in continuous training with masters such as Juan Caros Corazza or Claudio Tolcachir, he began to focus more on the audiovisual field, taking part in series such as Frágiles or Dreamland. He is expanding his experience by being in series like Ella es tu Padre and El Ministerio del Tiempo, and more recently Vergüenza of Movistar+ and La Valla of Atresmedia and Netflix.
