On Thursday, February 19, 2009 One of the most remembered series on the small screen of our country began on Spanish Television. Is about Red Eaglethe series created by Pilar Nadal, Ernesto Pozuelo and Daniel Ecija which became, for nine seasons, an unavoidable event for fans of the historical series. Yes, this production transported viewers to the XVII centuryduring the reign of Ferdinand IV, to tell us the story of Gonzalo de Montalvoa school teacher who, at the same time, was a masked hero who fought against injustice to protect the weakest.
But in addition to an audience, Águila Roja was also a name that could be heard frequently at award ceremonies, with the series deserving of some of them such as Gold TP -2009, 2010 and 2011- and the Waves Award for the best national series. Among its merits, the elaborate setting – more than 3,000 square meters were needed for the interiors – and, of course, a brilliant cast led by David Janer, Inma Cuesta, Javier Gutierrez, Francis LorenzoPepa Aniorte, Guillermo CampraMyriam Gallego and Patrick Criado. All of them captured the hearts of the audience, and although some have seen their exposure or fame reduced, just the opposite has happened to others. Next, we explain which has been from some of the main cast members:

The actor who played Gonzalo de Montalvo was, for years, one of the most recognizable faces on television. After the completion of this successful production, he made a place for himself in the cast of Love is foreverwith whom he remained until the end of this 2022. Of course, within a few weeks we will be able to see it again, given that Atresmedia has already announced the return of the famous continuation of Loving in troubled times. At the same time, she has had supporting roles in other renowned series such as Luimelia, Paco’s men either The heart of the citycombined with other hobbies such as that of his sommelier studies.
When it started Red EagleInma Cuesta still was not well known. Now, however, it is a actress as sought after as recognized in our cinema. Thus, he has participated in such acclaimed films as The sleeping voice, Snow White, Girlfriend, Everyone knows, 3 too many weddings either Group 7as well as in the celebrated miniseries Madrid burns. Furthermore, he has also been able to place himself under the orders of Pedro Almodovar in the film Juliet. Furthermore, it has accumulated three nominations for the Goya Awards. Furthermore, he is a reference figure within the Feminist claims in Spanish cinema.
Another located at the top of Spanish cinema, among other things for its two Goya Awards -along with four other nominations-. Javier Gutiérrez is probably one of the most active actors on the national scene, with continuous appearances in movies and series of all kinds. Something that, on the other hand, is not surprising, since he has had roles in some of the best films of recent decades, such as The minimal island, Truman, Champions either Model 77. Currently, we can see him twice: in the cinema in the film Birdswith Luis Zahera, and in our homes with the recent premiere of the series The Asunta case.
All the actors we have mentioned so far appeared in the new series by Daniel Écija -creator of Águila Roja-, I am alive. Another who was also part of the cast of this production carried out in 2017 was Francis Lorenzo. The case of this interpreter is peculiar, because he expanded his career to the presenter work. From 2013 to 2015 she presented on La 1 a travel program: Spain at sky level. That same year she was also in charge of being the visible face of another program: The century of Red Eagle. Regarding his acting career, it is necessary to mention that Francis Lorenzo returned to the world of fiction in 2022, with a small role in the series The inmortalwhich recently released its second season.

Red Eagle’s son for nine seasons. After the series that catapulted him to fame, he has been stringing supporting roles in series such as under the net, North Mouth either Mothers, Love and life. Curiously, his name has appeared in some international productionslike the Italian The devil’s clocks or the British Crossfire, this being, in 2022, his last known work. Furthermore, Campra is dedicated to create content on his Instagram account. where he accumulates more than 160,000 followers. It was there where he posted a comment video asking for a job.
Criado is one of those precocious stars whose success has not consumed them. Although his appearance so remembered in Águila Roja occurred when I was only 14 years old -and he was already acting since I was 10-, he was combining his role as Nuño in the series with other projects such as The great Spanish family either The club of the misunderstood. But it is in the series where she has had the greatest successes, so far, in his already long career, with his applauded roles in The invisible line, Riot gear and, a year later, in the fifth season of The Money Heist.
