Biography

David Castillo Martínez was born in 1992 (depending on sources, either in Fuenlabrada or Madrid).[1][2]

He began his acting career as a child and played lesser roles in series such as Hospital Central, Una nueva vida and Ana y los 7.[3] David appeared in the 2004 gay-themed film Cachorro, playing Bernardo, a 9-year-old boy.[4] He starred in the 2004 TV series Manolito Gafotas, playing Yihad, the antagonist of lead character Manolito Gafotas, played by Christopher Torres.[3][5]

He joined the cast of Aída when he was 13 years old.[6] He was cast to play Jonathan, the "troubling" son of leading character Aída (Carmen Machi).[7] The successful series aired on Telecinco from 2005 to 2014, and earned Castillo (who starred in 237 episodes)[8] popularity.[2][1] Castillo starred in El diario de Carlota as 'Sergio' and played a cameo in Torrente 4 (2011), performing 'El chanclas'.[9][10] Following the end of Aída, he temporarily distanced from television, and decided to take the entrance tests for the Joven Compañía Nacional de Teatro Clásico ("Young National Classical Theatre Company").[2]

In 2018, he joined the cast of the 7th season of Amar es para siempre,[8] playing a role very different to Aída's 'Jonathan', that of 'Miguel', a shy and introverted cartoonist.[11] Castillo also starred in the war drama miniseries Los nuestros 2 (aired in 2019 on Telecinco), playing 'Ray Izquierdo', a corporal charged with the communications of the portrayed BRIPAC unit.[12] He later took part in the medieval action drama El Cid, released on Amazon Prime Video in 2020, performing the role of the squire Lisardo.[13] In October 2020, he joined the filming of the miniseries Besos al aire, set on the COVID-19 lockdown.[14]
