Guillermo Toledo Monsalve (born 22 May 1970), also known as Willy Toledo, is a Spanish actor and theatre producer. He gained popularity in Spain for his television role as Richard in sitcom

Ferpect Crime (2004).[3]

Besides his acting career, he is also noted as a polemicist and for his political activism.[4][2] He has claimed to suffer a veto by the Spanish film and television industry limiting his job opportunities due to his off-screen activities.[5]

Biography

Guillermo Toledo Monsalve was born in Madrid on 22 May 1970,[4] to a well-off family, son of a prestigious surgeon pioneer in thoracic surgery.[6][2] He studied at the Colegio Estilo in El Viso.[6] He trained as an actor in Spain and the United States.[2]

He made his feature film debut in You Shall Die in Chafarinas.[7] Together with Alberto San Juan, Nathalie Poza and Ernesto Alterio, Toledo founded in 1996 the theatrical group Ración de oreja, which presented the theatrical staging Animalario.[8] Ración de oreja later merged with Andrés Lima's Riesgo to create the theatre company Animalario [es], named after Ración de oreja's debut work.[9]

His

7 Vidas from 1999 to 2002.[2]

His performance in the 2002 musical film

Crimen ferpecto (2004) earned him a nomination to the Goya Award for Best Actor.[11]

After years of an alleged "veto" of the Spanish film and TV industry on granting roles to Toledo, Toledo returned to fiction in the Netflix's series The Minions of Midas,[12] premiered in November 2019.

Activism

He was noted for his activism in Spain

La Sexta.[2]

Toledo was arrested for allegedly causing "damage" during the 29 March 2012 Spanish general strike [es].[2] He was released and the case against him was closed.[2]

In November 2020, he was acquitted after being tried for

the virgin" as way of criticising the opening of oral proceedings against three women who in 2014 paraded a large vagina in Seville under the banner "The Unsubmissive Pussy".[13][14][15][2]

He appeared in the last position of the list of the

2023 local elections in Badalona. It is a show of symbolic support, it would be improbable that he became a councilor.[16]
