Miguel Ángel García de la Herrán, best known as Miguel Herrán, is a Spanish actor. In 2016, he won the Goya Award for Best New Actor for his feature film debut in Nothing in Return. He gained notoriety for his performances in television series Élite and Money Heist.

Life and career[edit]

Herrán was born in Málaga but he was raised in Chamberí, Madrid.[1] He was not interested in studying and failed four years of his elementary and secondary education.[1] A chance encounter with actor and director Daniel Guzmán in the streets of Madrid led to Herrán auditioning for the role of Darío in the film Nothing in Return (2015), which earned him the Goya Award for Best New Actor.[1]

In 2017, he was cast as Aníbal Cortés (codename 'Río') in the Antena 3 series Money Heist, which was later picked up by Netflix. In 2018, he starred as Christian Varela in the Netflix original series Élite.[2]

Herrán also acted in an advertisement for the Indian music streaming platform Gaana.[3]
