Antonio Fernández Resines (born 7 August 1954) is a Spanish film and television actor.
Resines made his feature film debut in 1980 in La paloma azul, also featuring in Opera prima and La mano negra. He gained early notoriety in the 1980s by featuring in titles such as Be Wanton and Tread No Shame (1985), La vida alegre (1987) and Dawn Breaks, Which Is No Small Thing (1989). He further consolidated a film and television career in the 1990s, primarily in comedy works, including pictures such as Disparate nacional (1990), Anything for Bread (1991), The Sow (1992), Acción mutante (1993), Everyone Off to Jail (1993) and All Men Are the Same (1994) and series such as Colegio Mayor and Los ladrones van a la oficina, which earned him notoriety. He nonetheless won the Goya Award for Best Actor for a dramatic role in The Lucky Star (1997).
He attained an enormous degree of popularity in Spain for his portrayal of Diego Serrano from 2003 to 2008 in television series Los Serrano.
Biography Antonio Cayetano Francisco de Sales (his full compound given name) Fernández Resines was born 'by accident' on 7 August 1954 in Torrelavega, as his parents spent their Summer holidays there, but he was raised in Madrid, son of José Ramón Fernández Quevedo, lawyer, and Amalia Resines Ruiz de Rebolledo, who died on 10 July 2011. He studied on the Marianist Colegio Santa María del Pilar.
Resines started studying law at university, yet he dropped his studies after one year, switching to 'Sciences of the Image'. During this time, he became an acquaintance of the likes of Fernando Trueba and Óscar Ladoire.
From 2003 to 2008, he starred as leading role (Diego Serrano) in the successful (yet controversially-ended) costumbrista sit-com Los Serrano.
From 2015 to 2016, he served as president of the Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences of Spain.
He was a regular collaborator in La Resistencia. In September 2019, he joined El hormiguero.
