Eduardo Noriega was born in Santander in 1973. He studied music and piano at his local High School of Music and in 1990 attended his first acting lessons, making his first appearances in the staging of works such as Federico García Lorca’s Yerma, directed by Román Calleja. In 1992, he travelled to Madrid to study theatre at the Real Escuela Superior de Arte Dramático (RESAD); starting to work right from his very first year in short films by directors like Alejandro Amenábar or Mateo Gil. In 1994, he made his feature film debut as an actor (Historias del Kronen, by Montxo Armendáriz), having stayed among the leading Spanish actors ever since.
Alejandro Amenábar’s Tesis (Thesis, 1996) opened the doors to success for him, and he once again worked with the same director in Abre los ojos (Open Your Eyes, 1997).
