About me
I'm Neil Santolaya
Passionate about cinema from a very young age. My earliest memories are of '90s action movies that mesmerized me.
Since then I had a totally self-taught first stage until I decided to train professionally at schoolMadrid Method, in addition to different courses with actors such asNacho Guerreros, Roberto Álamo or Fernando Cayo, directors asbald savior and casting directors likeJose Cerqueda.
But this was not enough, he wanted to be a versatile actor, and capable of doing everything (like Tom Cruise). So all this training I have been complementing with courses ofstage fighting, handling of firearms, rappelling, stunt and horse riding.
I don't want to forget my time as a professional tennis player and martial artist, which gave me greatdiscipline, perseverance and professionalism.
He has worked on different film projects such as "False Smiles" or "Nothing" that earned me a candidacy forbetteractor from Aragon or "The weight of existence" with more than100,000 reproductions inYoutube.
I have also participated in the TVE series “4
Stars” directed by Manu Gómez, Álvaro Vicario, Laura Campo, Luis Arribas and Juan Gil.
Finally I want to add that I also write, with two films under my belt and that my goal is to bring them to the big screen.
We could conclude by saying that I am "a restless ass".
I'm Neil Santolaya.
