Carlos Enrique Almirante Herrera

He never thought he would become an actor....he always accompanied his dad, Enrique Almirante, to film shoots. He never thought about it or was very interested in it, it wasn't on his mind, he was like any other child who only thinks about playing. Until at a rehearsal for the adventure El Dragón Mambí that he attended with his dad, they proposed that he play a character and without thinking he accepted, it was in 1996. He was only 10 years old then. That's where he realized he wanted to dedicate himself completely to this career, it's what he likes and the only thing he knows how to do.

Then came many other performances in youth and adult television series (El violador, Enigma de un verano, Coco verde, Los platos rotos), in soap operas (Al compás del son) and as a host in musical or participation programs (A moverse, 23 y M, Banda sonora).

In 2001 he began in theater acting in plays such as La Celestina, El cartero de Neruda, Morir del cuento and Deseo bajo los olmos.

In 2004 he graduated as an actor from the Escuela Nacional de Arte.
