During the next three Pasapalabra programs, Moisés and Fer have the help of new celebrities. Four familiar faces who landed on the Antena 3 set to exude good humor and to squeeze all their knowledge with the aim of adding the greatest number of seconds in the contestants’ lockers. On this occasion the chosen ones are Tania Llasera, Lidia San José, Eduardo Rosa and Santi Alverú. Let’s get to know this latest guest a little better.
Santi Alverú is funny. And actor. And television collaborator, scriptwriter and creator of events and content. Come on, quite an entertainer.
Born in Oviedo 31 years ago, he started with monologues in adolescence with some success. Later, he began to study Law, a career that he soon abandoned. His thing, he said, was writing.
He moved to Madrid to study Audiovisual Communication, when shortly after, in 2017, fame assailed him almost by accident. It was in the comedy film Selfie, directed by Víctor García-León, where she gave life to the posh Bosco. Alverú’s performance at his premiere as an actor was so surprising that it earned him a Goya nomination for Best New Actor.
Santi Alverú explained in an interview in EL MUNDO how his unexpected entry into the world of cinema came about: “They couldn’t find the actor they were looking for until one day the casting director was having dinner with a professor from my college and he told her about me They called me, they gave me a test in which they let me improvise and they took me”.
Despite the success of his role in Selfie, the man from Oviedo did not want to take advantage of that springboard to consecrate his career on the big screen, but instead chose to face a miscellany of projects.
As an actor, he has appeared in the series Paquita Salas and in some short films, and has also gotten into television. Alverú has collaborated since 2019 in the program Zapeando, from La Sexta, and in 2021 and 2022 he had his own section in Mejor con contigo, on La 1, until TVE closed the morning magazine. The happy twenty, That program you are talking about or As of today are other programs in which Alverú has appeared.
His facet as a scriptwriter for Comedy Central News also appears on Santi Alverú’s business card. He also created the Yago Awards, something like the revalidation of the Goya, and started podcast projects like Hit the bleach and shows like Y de beber, meatballs, where he turns the Café Comercial once a month into a kind of late night in live while the audience dines and he interviews familiar faces.
