Biography

Antonio Fernández Resines was born 'by accident' on 7 August 1954 in Torrelavega, as his parents spent their Summer holidays there, but he was raised in Madrid, son of José Ramón Fernández Quevedo, lawyer, and Amalia Resines Ruiz de Rebolledo, who died on 10 July 2011. He studied on the Marianist Colegio Santa María del Pilar. Resines started studying law at university, yet he dropped his studies after one year, switching to 'Sciences of the Image'. During this time, he became an acquaintance of the likes of Fernando Trueba and Óscar Ladoire. From 2003 to 2008, he starred as leading role (Diego Serrano) in the successful (yet controversially-ended) costumbrista sit-com Los Serrano. He was a regular collaborator in La Resistencia. In September 2019, he joined El hormiguero.
