Carlos López Hipólito (born 1956), better known as Carlos Hipólito, is a Spanish actor with a long stage career.[1] He is perhaps most familiar to a television audience for performances in series such as Desaparecida, Guante blanco, Locked Up or Caronte, even though his most enduring television collaboration is his long-lasting voice work as old Carlos Alcántara in Cuéntame cómo pasó.[2]

Biography

Carlol López Hipólito was born in 1956 in Madrid.[3] He started studies in architecture but he dropped off.[4] A theater buff since childhood due to his mother's influence, he trained his acting chops at the William Layton lab.[1] He started his acting career in stage plays,[4] making his professional debut in 1978.[1]

Some of his stage performances include roles in Arte; El mètode Grönholm [es], Todos eran mis hijos, Follies; Don Carlos, El misántropo, El médico de su honra, Las comedias bárbaras, Historia de un caballo, El burlador de Sevilla and Dakota.[4][1]

Hipólito has been a recurring face in José Luis Garci's feature films, including You're the One (2000), Story of a Kiss (2002), Tiovivo c. 1950 (2004), Ninette (2005), Sangre de mayo (2008) or Holmes & Watson. Madrid Days (2012).[5][6][7] In 2003, he was nominated to the Goya Award for his supporting performance in Story of a Kiss.[8][9]

Hipólito has performed the voiceover of Carlos Alcántara in Cuéntame cómo pasó since the beginning of the series in 2001.[2] Many seasons after, he made an onscreen performance in Cuéntame's 21st season (released in 2021), when the timeline of the series made a leap-forward to COVID-19-struck Spain.[2]

In 2020, he was awarded the Gold Medal of Merit in the Fine Arts.[10][11]

Personal life

He got married with Mapi Sagaseta, a Spanish actress, and they got a daughter in 2002, Elisa Hipólito, also an actress.[12][13]
