Biography

Emilio Gutiérrez Caba, a Spanish actor with nearly five decades of experience, has consistently worked in theater, film, and television. He has collaborated with renowned directors and has become a legend of the theater. Since his debut in the 1960s, he has brought over a hundred characters to life in dozens of series, plays, and more than 80 films.

Born in Valladolid in 1942, Gutiérrez Caba is the son of Emilio Gutiérrez and Irene Caba Alba, and the brother of actresses Irene Gutiérrez Caba and Julia Gutiérrez Caba. Growing up in an environment marked by acting and the arts, it was only a matter of time before he discovered his vocation.

Gutiérrez Caba studied philosophy, but his interest in acting was solidified during his university years. He made his debut in the theater in 1962 when he joined Lilí Murati's company, and he won his first film role in 1963 in Jesus Franco's 'El llanero'.

In 1968, he co-founded his own company with actress María José Goyanes. Since 1979, he has starred in works by classical authors such as Gil Vicente, Calderón, Shakespeare, Joyce, and Juan Ruiz de Alarcón; and pieces by contemporary playwrights such as Álvaro del Amo, Jorge Díaz, Fermín Cabal, and Juan García Larrondo.

One of his most iconic roles is his interpretation of Don Diego in 'The Maidens' Consent' by Moratín in 1996. In 2003, he was nominated for a Best Actor Spanish Actors Guild Award for 'The Prince and the Showgirl'.

His performance in 'Mourning Becomes Electra' was recognized with a Max Award for Best Supporting Actor. Although Gutiérrez Caba's career has primarily been focused on the stage, he has also combined his work in theater with screen appearances in literary adaptations such as 'The Beehive', 'Werther', 'Requiem for a Spanish peasant', and 'La sombra del ciprés es alargada'.

He has also participated in 'Bicycles are for the Summer' by Jaime Chávarri, and worked with Pedro Almodóvar in 'What Have I Done to Deserve This?' On television, he has brought characters like San Juan de la Cruz in the successful series 'Teresa de Jesús' and Don Vicente Cortázar in 'Gran Reserva' to life, earning him the Best Actor Ondas Award and another Spanish Actors Guild Best Actor Award.

His other credits include 'The First Night of my Life', 'Goya in Bordeaux', 'Common Wealth', and 'Goya Award for Best Supporting Actor', as well as the CEC and Spanish Actors' Guild Awards in the same category for 'Common Wealth'. Shortly after, he received a second Goya Award for 'Ten Days Without Love'.

Some of his more recent work includes Julio Medem's 'The Tree of Blood', Jaume Balaguero's 'Way Down', 'Despite Everything' directed by Gabriela Tagliavini, Juan Jose Alfonso's play 'After The Rehearsal', and the series 'La Templanza' for Amazon Prime.
