Victoria Luengo (born 7 April 1990), also known as Vicky Luengo, is a Spanish film, television and stage actress. She gained recognition for her performance in television series Riot Police (2020).[1]

Biography[edit]

Victoria Luengo was born on 7 April 1990 in Palma de Mallorca,[2][3][4] but after fours years she moved with her mother and brother to Barcelona,[5] where she was raised.[6] She took an interest in acting at a young age, and she got her first role in a stage play at barely 14 years old.[6] She studied acting, dance and singing at the Barcelona's Memory School.[6] She made her television debut as a background actress in Rumors (2006), later obtaining larger television roles in Hospital Central and La pecera de Eva.[6] In 2013, she joined the theatrical cast of Una historia catalana, a play staged at the National Theatre of Catalonia.[6]

She starred as lead character in the French TV movie Carmen [fr] (2011), directed by Jacques Malaterre,[5] also appearing in films such as La Trinca: la biografía no autorizada [es] (2011), Born (2014; for which she won a Best Actress Award at the 2015 New York City International Film Festival),[7] Barcelona, noche de invierno [es] (2015), The Laws of Thermodynamics (2018) and I'm Being Me (2020).[5][8]

She had a breakout performance in the television series Riot Police,[9] aired in 2020 on Movistar+. She portrayed Laia Urquijo, an Internal Affairs police officer who must investigate the potential misbehaviour committed by a squad of riot police officers during an eviction.[10]

On 31 August 2023, Luengo debuted with the single-role of Tessa in monologue play Prima Facie at Madrid's Teatros del Canal.[11][12]

In 2024, she expressed her preference to be known to the public by her real name, Victoria, rather than Vicky, which she adopted in her early career because she felt then than Victoria was a name for an old person.[13]
