In 2006, he portrayed David in film Los Mánagers, directed by Fernando Guillén Cuervo. Also, he was the protagonist of 2006 film El camino de los ingleses, directed by famous actor Antonio Banderas. When Banderas selected him for the film, he did not know that Perea was very famous in Spain for his roles in the TV-series Al salir de clase and Los Serrano.[1]
In 2007, Perea acted in Goya-nominated film Las 13 rosas, directed by Emilio Martínez Lázaro. And that year, he started performing in plays like ‘Fedra’ as Hipolito along with some of the big names of the Spanish dramaturgy: Ana Belén as Fedra, José Carlos Plaza as director and Juan Mayorga as scriptwriter.

In 2010, Fran Perea launched his third album, 'Viejos conocidos'. This is the first album all made by Fran: written by him and produced by his label Sinfonía en No Bemol. In May and July 2012 he has had a tour with this album around Spain.
He shot a new film, 'Chrysalis', debut of director Paula Ortiz, which share the story of Maribel Verdú and Roberto Alamo. And he participated with a short role in 'Balada triste de trompeta' by Alex de la Iglesia, who directed the first clip of 'Viejos conocidos', corresponding to the single 'Carnaval'.
On television, he was honored to participate in the revival of the classic TVE Estudio 1, as Camilo of 'La viuda de Valencia', with Aitana Sanchez-Gijon and Jorge Roelas, among other peers. A new experience for him as it had to apply the concept stage to the television format.
Recently, he has finished another tour with a show completely different. For a year he has gotten into the skin of Chris Keller, the son of Joe and Kate Keller in 'All My Sons' (Arthur Miller), under the direction of Claudio Tolcachir, who is also responsible for the adaptation of Miller's text. Claudio, who has already become a good friend, is an Argentine director who is amazing audiences and critics with his concept of theater.
