Cable Girls tells the story of an empowered group of women working as switchboard operators in 1920s Spain. The Spanish Netflix show earned avid fans with its depiction of the women's battle against the oppressive system of their time.
But, on top of the intriguing story, Cable Girls also won fans with excellent sets, costumes, and, well... the men. Among them is the talented Yon Gonzalez, better known to fans as "Francisco Gomez."
Cable Girls: "Francisco" actor Yon Gonzalez's life before fame
Although Yon Gonzalez was unknown to many viewers before Cable Girls, he was already quite a popular name in Spain thanks to his work on well-known TV shows such as El internado (The Boarding School) and Gran Hotel. But let's find out what the actor did before his rise to fame.
The now 34-year-old actor made his debut in 2006 after moving, at age 20, from his native Basque Country to Madrid. That year, he first appeared in the youth television series SMS. Around this time, he also worked as a fashion and cover model.
Meanwhile, Gonzalez's work on SMS caught the attention of thousands of fans and producers, immediately landing him the role of "Iván Noiret" on El internado—for which he won the ACE Award for Best New Actor and got a Golden Nymph nomination.
