Biography

[edit]

Albizu was born in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Álava, in 1963.[1] Prior to starting a career as an actor, Albizu studied architecture and fashion design and worked as teacher of design and anatomy.[2] Once he moved to Madrid, he came into contact with acting while he was working as costume designer in a cabaret group, beginning to perform in stage thereafter.[3] After 1994, he made his early film performances in short films.[2] He also took part in stand-up comedy television shows such as Los irrepetibles [es] and El club de la comedia [es].[4]

Cast in episodic roles in television series such as Cuéntame, Hospital Central and Mis adorables vecinos, he landed a main role in the sitcom Casi perfectos [es] (2004–2005), playing Manolo, one of siblings of the character played by Emilio Aragón.[5] He starred as the evil Aníbal Torres in the telenovela El auténtico Rodrigo Leal,[6] also featuring in Gominolas, playing a somewhat eccentric gay man and strong fan of the band giving name to the series.[7] His role as Andrés in the film Fat People earned him a Goya award nomination for Best New Actor at age 46.[8] His role as the security guard Román in the 2021 film The Good Boss earned him a nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the 36th Goya Awards.[9][10][11]
