Born in Barcelona Spain, Jesús discovered his true vocation in Sydney, Australia at the age of eighteen. There, he enrolled to his first professional acting course at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA). In 2004, after a year back in Barcelona, he quit his engineering studies for the prestigious Drama School Institut del Teatre de Barcelona.
His insatiable appetite for acting then took him to the HB Studio in New York during the Summers of 2005 and 2007 where he studied with Edward Morehouse, Jim Boerlin, and Carol Rosenfeld, among others. In 2009 he received a scholarship to London to the Rose Bruford College of Theater and Performance in London. His interest in other languages and cultures brought him to Rome, Italy for five months and then Reunion Island, France for a year.
In addition to many plays in his beginning years as an actor, Jesús has worked in countless films with young filmmakers throughout Spain, Italy, France, England and the U.S. His first professional role in the TV series Pelotas by Jose Corbacho and Juan Cruz led to feature films such as Yo soy la Juani directed by Bigas Luna, Sing for Darfur by Johan Kramer and Messi by Alex de la Iglesia.
Jesús´ first lead role came in 2013 with the character driven road-movie Tercer Grado (Day Release) directed by Geoffrey Cowper. The film and Jesús´ performance received multiple awards across the globe and Jesús himself presented the film in different movie theatres throughout Spain, the USA, China, Canada, Germany, etc. In early 2017 Jesús moved to Los Angeles, California to soon land his first American lead in the feature film Black Flowers by British writer/director Martin Gooch.
