He began working in television in 1973 and made his big screen debut with Más allá del sol in 1975.

His theater beginnings were in 1971, and in 1976 he achieved stardom in Peter Shaffer's Equus with Duilio Marzio.

He portrayed the 1920s-era doctor and epidemiologist, Salvador Mazza, in the 1995 biopic Casas de fuego.

He was nearly crippled in November 2006 while bathing on a beach in the Canary Islands, and spent two months recovering from the accident.

Solá and Oteyza separated in 2011 and he returned to Argentina, where he reappeared on television and the theater - and where he met Paula Cancio [es], a Spanish actress with whom he had a son in 2013.
