Alex Vega(XVI)

  • Actor
IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Born in Barcelona. He lived all his childhood in Cerdanyola Del Vallès, with his parents, Anna Vega and Paquito Sánchez. Children, almost all of them, of Andalusians. On her mother's side, Merçè Badia, originally from l'Hospitalet de Llobregat, married Pepito Vega, born in Linares, Jaén. They settled in Cornellà de Llobregat. As for his paternal grandparents, Francisco Sanchez (El Bibi) and Ramona Delgado, they were farm laborers in Mollina, Malaga, until they opened a small business in Ciutat Meridiana (Barcelona) and later moving to Cerdanyola. Since he was a child, Alex always had the art clearly latent. When he was 5 years old, one of the first moments that marked a before and after in his life was the discovery of Lina Morgan by the hand of his grandmother Merçè, in the VHS of the play "Celeste.... No Es Un Color", as she has acknowledged on several occasions. That was one of the most crucial turning points in her life, because when she saw how Lina laughed at her own jokes and enjoyed herself in front of the audience, breaking the fourth wall, something inside her woke up. And he felt that he had come to this world to make others enjoy it. Realizing that that 5 year old boy had discovered his true vocation. To never let go of the happiness and love that his inner child gave off. At the age of 7 his parents enrolled him in theater at "L'Ateneu" in Cerdanyola. Where he took his first steps in the world of acting. Always combining his inexhaustible passion for music. Family and friends often remember that Alex sang at all hours, always being the center of attention. Although there was a clear turning point when he was chosen as the protagonist for the end of the school year show where he performed the theme of Aquarius, from the musical HAIR. It was a moment that is still remembered more than 20 years later at gatherings of family and friends. She later confessed that she had been rehearsing in secret so that it would be a surprise for her parents and they would not be aware of what they were about to witness.

During his pre-adolescence he always combined a multitude of artistic activities with sports. Where he would stand out exceptionally in both fields, becoming part of the Catalan Handball National Team.

At the age of 16 he founded, together with his close friends, the music group "Unplugged's" with which they were played on radio stations in Mexico. At the same time they became known in the Underground circuit of the city. Later it would be renamed as "Algo Que Contar".At the age of 17 he began his career in the world of comedy at a professional level. Being part of "La Destilería" artistic company based in Sabadell. Where he began to stand out with his lack of filters, shame and mug on stage.

At that time he began his professional training in Musical Theater in Barcelona, as he wanted to grow in acting and musical level. Although he always recognized that his goal was to be an actor and singer separately. So once he finished his studies, and having matured vocally, he decided to train professionally in interpretation with reference directors such as Montxo Armendariz, Santiago Zannou, Ricardo A. Solla, Pep Armengol, Esteve Rovira, among others. At that time he has to live the sudden and unexpected death of Bibi, his paternal grandfather, with whom he had a close relationship of love and complicity.

In 2019 she writes and directs her first short film "MERÇÈ". Starring his maternal grandmother Merçè.

That same year she founded the group Venice, of which she is the vocalist. Her first EP would see the light that same year.

In 2020 she decides to move away from her family to pursue her dream in Madrid. Once there, Merçè's health goes through a very delicate moment and he decides to return to be by her side and take care of her, but at that time he loses all his savings because of the pandemic. He also goes through a real hell having to face the only thing he was afraid of in this life, to say goodbye to Merçè forever. Years later, Alex confessed that after that he was never the same again. After a dark period and struggling to get ahead, thanks to the support of his family, he resumed his career in Madrid.

That's when his career as a renowned actor and comedian took off. Participating in series such as "El Inocente" Netflix directed by Oriol Paulo, "La Noche Más Larga" Netflix by Óscar Pedraza or "Sín Límites" HBO by Simon West (Con Air). Combining filming with "Los Chandals Al Sol" show directed and starring himself, which is currently in its 4th season having traveled throughout Spain.

In 2022 he founded the group "Los Niños De Goma" with Eduardo Vellido father, and Eduardo Vellido son. With the invaluable help of Nacho Recoder. Their first single is released in September of the same year. And they become part of "Los Chandals Al Sol" becoming indispensable.

During a trip through the Canary archipelago with Merce LeJardin they create and shape the piece "Nombres Del Cuerpo". An ode to art, dance and music, combining unique elements creating a sensory experience at cosmic levels.In November 2023 he sees his career catapulted with the premiere of "El Otro Lado" series created by Berto Romero, directed by Javier Ruiz Caldera and Alberto de Toro.
