Diego Anido Alonso was born on 8 May 1976 in Santiago de Compostela.[2][3] He began his training as an actor at Espazo Aberto, developing his early career on stage.[4] He moved to Barcelona, where he involved in the development of experimental theatre works.[4]

Early film credits include appearances in Pedro e o Capitán (2009) and Trote (2018).[5] In Ons (2020), he featured in a minor role portraying a deaf character.[6] He also featured in Malencolía (2021) and O niño dos paxaros (2021),[5] winning a Mestre Mateo Award for his supporting performance in the former film.[7]
