Biography

David Castillo Martínez was born in 1992.
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. David appeared in the 2004 gay-themed film Cachorro, playing Bernardo, a 9-year-old boy. He starred in the 2004 TV series, playing Yihad, the antagonist of lead character Manolito Gafotas, played by Christopher Torres.
He joined the cast of Aída when he was 13 years old. He was cast to play Jonathan, the "troubling" son of leading character Aída. The successful series aired on Telecinco from 2005 to 2014, and earned Castillo popularity. Castillo starred in El diario de Carlota as 'Sergio' and played a cameo in Torrente 4, performing 'El chanclas'. 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.
In 2018, he joined the cast of the 7th season of Amar es para siempre, playing a role very different to Aída's 'Jonathan', that of 'Miguel', a shy and introverted cartoonist. Castillo also starred in the war drama miniseries Los nuestros 2, playing 'Ray Izquierdo', a corporal charged with the communications of the portrayed BRIPAC unit. 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. In October 2020, he joined the filming of the miniseries Besos al aire, set on the COVID-19 lockdown.
