Enric Auquer

Enric Auquer Sardà (born 28 August 1988 in Verges, Catalonia, Spain) is a Spanish actor whose rapid ascent in both film and television has made him one of the most compelling talents of his generation. Encouraged by his mother, Auquer enrolled in a drama school in Barcelona in 2008, a decision that proved transformative; the intensive training not only ignited his passion for performance but also helped him manage his ADHD, a struggle he describes as the first time he felt truly capable of excelling. The following year he secured his debut screen role in Mediterranean Food, marking the beginning of a career that would swiftly move from the small screen to prestigious stages across Catalonia. He soon became a regular presence in regional theater, appearing in productions such as Nit de Reis and Titus Andrònic, where his versatility and commitment to character earned critical notice. In 2017 Auquer gained wider recognition with the Catalan television series Com si fos ahir, where his nuanced portrayal resonated strongly with local audiences, establishing him as a rising star in the Spanish‑language market. In 2019 he captured international attention with his breakout performance as a young Galician drug dealer in Eye for an Eye; the role showcased his ability to embody complex, morally ambiguous figures and earned him a cascade of accolades, including Best New Actor at the 34th Goya Awards, Best Supporting Actor at the 7th Feroz Awards, and Best Actor in a Supporting Role at the 12th Gaudí Awards. Concurrently, his television work continued to expand, most notably with a supporting role in Perfect Life, where he sensitively depicted a young man with an intellectual disability who unexpectedly becomes a father, further cementing his reputation for empathetic and daring character work. Today, Auquer remains an active figure in both film and stage, consistently choosing projects that challenge conventional narratives and highlight his dedication to the craft of acting.
