Career

Àlex Monner began his career at fourteen when he was cast in Pau Freixas‘ coming-of-age film Héroes (2010) after attending school auditions in Barcelona. The experience proved formative and led directly to his breakthrough television role as Lleó, a teenager who loses a leg to cancer, in the TV3 series Polseres vermelles (2011–2013), again directed by Freixas and written by Albert Espinosa.

The series brought him widespread recognition in Catalonia and Spain. Early film appearances followed, including a supporting part in the horror film REC 3: Génesis (2012) and the leading role in Els nens salvatges (The Wild Ones, 2012), which earned him a Goya nomination for Best New Actor and the Gaudí Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role.

His career progressed steadily through a mix of Catalan and Spanish productions. He appeared in Barcelona, nit d’estiu (2013), La propera pell (The Next Skin, 2016), for which he received another Gaudí nomination, and series such as Cites, Sé quién eres, and Vivir sin permiso.

He expanded his range with roles in La línea invisible (2020) as Txabi Etxebarrieta and a recurring appearance as Felipe in Netflix’s Elite. Feature leads in El Cover (2021), Mediterráneo (2021), and the Netflix action thriller Centauro (2022) further established him as a reliable leading man. He has also directed short films, including Un chico cualquiera and Rosario sólo hay una.

In more recent years Monner has continued to take on diverse projects across film and television. Notable works include La Ruta, El llanto (2024), Los bárbaros (2024), and Fury (2025). His body of work spans drama, thriller, musical, and historical genres, reflecting a career built on consistent collaboration with directors such as Pau Freixas, Isaki Lacuesta, and Daniel Calparsoro.
