In 1995 he was one of the creators of the game show Los jueves, mudanza, issued by TVG. He debuted as a presenter in Euskal Telebista being presenter of the monthly program Ciudadanos and then of the daily show Arde la tarde.

In 1996 his film debut arrived when he starred, along with Imanol Arias, on Koldo Azkarreta's film Rigor Mortis . In 1997 he made a leap to national television, presenting weekly show PC Adictos on La 2. However, he rose to fame due to his roles in TV series Al salir de clase and Quítate tú para ponerme yo , both on Telecinco.
