His innate talents led to his film debut at age 9 with a leading role in El palomo cojo, directed by Jaime de Armiñán, who was once close to winning the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar for Mi querida señorita. Miguel Ángel’s artistic sensitivity and skills earned him roles across cinema, theatre, television, dance, and music before he turned twenty, garnering significant acclaim throughout his career.
