Javier Pereira

Dynamic, award-winning Spanish actor Javier Pereira has appeared in a huge number of films and television series during his near-25-year-long career. Among his biggest successes to date are the 2013 romantic drama film Stockholm, in which he co-starred and won the Goya Award for Best New Actor (despite having made his screen debut 15 years previously!) More recently, he has appeared in the must-watch 2020 thriller series Alguien tiene de morir (Someone Had to Die) and in the long-running Spanish drama series Cuentame (Remember When).

Pereira was born in Madrid in 1981. He film and television career began in the late 1990s, but it was the role of Enrique “Triki” Cobos in the long-running and hugely popular teen drama series Al salir de clase (When Leaving Class) that established him as a popular actor. He appeared in nearly 200 episodes of the show between 2001 and 2002. His first taste of awards success came a few years later, in 2007, when he won the Medina Film Festival Award for Best Actor thanks to his work on Traumalogia.

In 2013, Pereira enjoyed the greatest acclaim of his career to date with the release of the highly successful Stockholm. Four years later, he was being feted again, this time for his supporting role in Que Dios nos perdone (slightly mistranslated into English as May God Save Us). That role saw him nominated for awards by the Goya Awards, Spanish Actors Union and the Cinema Writers Circle. Today, he remains as busy and as visible as ever and is firmly established as one of the great actor currently working in Spanish entertainment.
