He graduated from Instituto Lope de Vega with a Baccalaureate of Performing Arts in 2018.
Career
[edit]Film and television (2018–present)
[edit]In late 2018, Guevara made his television debut as Cristian Miralles Haro in the first season of Skam España, the Spanish adaptation of Skam, a Norwegian teen drama series that focused on the daily life of teenagers and their struggles. He went on to appear in twelve episodes of the series between seasons 1 and 2.[4]
He then went on to appear in Amanda Kernell's 2018 film, Charter, as Manuel, and as Cristofer in 2020's Señoras del (h)AMPA, also appearing as Samu in the television series Riders that same year.[3] Charter was later selected as the Swedish entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 93rd Academy Awards, but did not make the shortlist.[5]
Guevara's next big role came in the 2020 TVE series, HIT, a high school drama about an unconventional educator tasked with turning around troubled institutions.[6] He appeared as main character Darío for two seasons.
In 2022, Guevara made a guest appearance as choreographer Nacho Duato in the Paramount+ original series, Bosé,[7] and appeared in the Prime Video movie, Tomorrow is today, as young Charly. Tomorrow is today was the first original Spanish film produced for the platform.[8] He also reunited with Skam España head writer, Estíbaliz Burgaleta, for the Netflix series, You are not special as Asier, and appeared in the HBO Max series How To Screw Everything Up as Fran in the same year.[9][10]
Guevara's biggest role to date has been in the 2023 Prime Video romance film, My Fault, as Nick Leister, who's involved in the dangerous street racing scene, and later begins an illicit romance with his stepsister, Noah, played by his Skam España co-star Nicole Wallace.[11] My Fault is based on a popular novel series originally published on Wattpad, called Culpables, by Mercedes Ron.[12] According to Amazon Prime Video, My Fault attained the highest opening three-day viewership figures of any non-English local original film in the history of the service after its release in June 2023.[13]
Furthermore, Guevara has an upcoming role in the Spanish television series, Red Flags, and in a miniseries, Ni una más, based on the novel of the same name by Miguel Sáez Carral, as Alberto. Ni una más is set to be released on Netflix, again reuniting him with Nicole Wallace .[3][14][15] He also played the main role in the series From Tomorrow on Disney Plus.
He also will be reprising his role as Nick in two sequels to My Fault, called Your Fault and Our Fault for Amazon Prime Video, which are based on the final two books in Mercedes Ron's Culpables trilogy.[16][17]
Your Fault and Our Fault began concurrent production on 31 August 2023.[18]
Stage (2010–present)
[edit]Outside his television and film career, Guevara has been active in opera and theater productions, first appearing in Tosca, a Royal Theater opera production, in 2010. He then appeared in Robin Hood, a 2012 theater production in France, and the Krol Roger opera in 2018.[3] Gabriel also worked with his father in Italy on the 2017 opera L'Elixir d'amore.[19]
Legal issues
[edit]Guevara was arrested on 2 September 2023 in Venice, Italy on an international warrant for an alleged sexual assault that had taken place in France. He was set to receive a "Best Young Actor" award from Filming Italy, which was canceled in the wake of his arrest.[20] On 3 September 2023 Guevara's acting representation, Brosson Talent Management, released a statement to the public, saying, "It is an old process in France, when Gabriel was a minor and in Spain, it has already been resolved in his favor with all the acquittals. We hope that he will be released shortly, once the retention error that we understand to be irregular is verified."[21] Guevara's lawyer, Pedro Fernández González, followed up on this statement, saying the case for which he was accused and then acquitted took place when Guevara was 13 years old, and the complainant was his cousin, "who got angry at him." A hearing of the case was scheduled for Monday, September 4, and he was later released that same day, with a condition of his release being that he could not leave Venice until the case was resolved.[22][23] On 15 September 2023 the Venetian Court of Appeals declared the arrest warrant and extradition request against Guevara null and void, and he was allowed to return home to Madrid.[24]
Prime Video, the streaming service behind the My Fault film franchise, also confirmed they were conducting their own independent investigation into the matter, per their lawyers.[22]
Guevara has since resumed work completing the filming of the last two films in the Culpables series.
