Hugo Welzel

Motivated by his love of cinema and the way it made him feel, Hugo Welzel enrolled in drama school of the Viento Sur Theatre in Seville when he was only fourteen. One year later he continues his studies in theatre and cinema with Sebastian Haro and Rebeca Ledesma.

In 2022 he is cast in his first role in the Disney+ series "The Invisible Girl" directed by Tito Amado and Aritz Moreno. That same year he plays a leading role in Rafael Cobos' "The Lefthanded Son" ("El HIjo Zurdo") for Movistar+. A critically acclaimed performance that earns him the Best Male Actor in a Miniseries nomination at the FICAL Awards in 2023. The series was awarded Best Short Series at the 2023 Cannes Series Festival.

In 2023, Welzel moves to Madrid to continue perfecting his craft with Juan Codina and take on a role of Bryan in Koldo Amandoz and Jota Linares' "Urban: La vida es nuestra" for Prime Video.

At the close of 2023 he is wrapping up shooting his first movie in a leading role titled "Enemigos" directed by David Valero. Later this year he's set to begin shooting a second season of a hit Netflix series.

Hugo is also a burgeoning screenwriter and young director, having just completed his first short film titled "Frágiles como rosas".

Hugo Welzel was born in Seville in 2004.
