During the Spanish Civil War he left his work and focused on theatre as an amateur actor.

In 1934 he collaborated as an extra in the black and white comedy Sereno with director Ignacio F. Iquino.

He continued playing supporting roles in many films until 1944 when he returned to theatre as an actor and entrepreneur.

In 1965 he was very successful with the film La ciudad no es para mí (The city is not for me) directed by Pedro Lazaga.

From that moment on, his screen character as an affectionate country bumpkin did not cease to appear in films until his death with his friend Pedro Lazaga.
