Career

He transitioned to film with 13 Roses (2007), playing Simón, but gained widespread recognition for his role as the arrogant aristocrat Nuño de Santillana in the popular adventure series Águila Roja (2009–2015).

This role, which he took on at just 14, established him early on as a promising young talent.

During and after this period, Criado broadened his career with diverse roles in both film and television, including a Goya-nominated performance in La gran familia española (2013), and appearances in films like Todos están muertos (2014) and El club de los incomprendidos (2014).

On television, he earned acclaim for roles in Mar de plástico (2015–2016) and the historical miniseries El padre de Caín (2016).

From 2018 onwards, Criado took on increasingly prominent and critically praised roles, such as Daniel Arteaga in Vivir sin permiso (Unauthorized Living) and key parts in La línea invisible and Antidisturbios (Riot Police).

His work in Antidisturbios earned him the Feroz Award for Best Supporting Actor in a TV series.

In 2021, he expanded his international presence by joining the hit Netflix series Money Heist (La casa de papel) as Rafael, Berlin’s son.

He also ventured into Netflix films, starring in Bajocero (Below Zero) and Bird Box: Barcelona (2023).

For the latter, Criado prepared rigorously by rehearsing scenes blindfolded on the streets of Barcelona to capture the authenticity of his character’s experience.

Known for his dedication to challenging and socially relevant projects, Criado notably lost 10 kilos to portray a prisoner in Las noches de Tefía, a series addressing the dark history of a Franco-era penal colony.

In 2023, he starred in Las noches de Tefía and worked on Hildegart, a biopic about the progressive 1930s intellectual Hildegart Rodríguez.

Beyond acting, Criado has collaborated musically with singer Lucía Gil and maintains an active social media presence.

He credits an early discovery in a theater workshop at age 10 and looks up to actors like Javier Bardem for their artistry and career management.
