| 3 | Óscar Jaenada Gajo (born 4 May 1975 in Catalonia, Spain) is a Spanish actor. He started his career as a prolific stage actor, but hard times led him to move to TV where he appeared in various Spanish series such as ''7 Vidas'', ''Compañeros'' and ''Hospital Central'' (the national version of ''Series/GeneralHospital''), eventually expanding his range to films. His true breakout came when he played popular UsefulNotes/{{Romani}} singer Camarón de la Isla in his 2005 biopic, earning him a Goya Award and the popular belief that he's Romani himself (which he isn't, only looks like one). |
