UNAX UGALDE: AGE, PARTNER AND BIOGRAPHY OF MATÍAS IN ‘SERVE AND PROTECT’
Born in the city of Vitoria in 1978, his family had nothing to do with show business . His father was a worker in the large factories in the area and his mother was a housewife. At first he would have wanted to dedicate himself to the marine world and study Marine Sciences, but his interpretation got in his way.
From a humble family, Unax had to work to be able to pay for his studies in Dramatic Art. Specifically, he had to dress up as a giant chocolate ball to promote some sweets .
Far from that curious first profession, his first work in a series would come to him in 1998 for ‘Between two fires’, broadcast on ETB, the Basque regional television . In 1999 he left the Basque Country to start his career in Madrid.
Its national premiere was thanks to the well-remembered ‘At eleven at home’, ‘El grupo’ and ‘Periodistas’, playing small roles in all of them, but making it clear that it was here to stay.
From that moment on, he also opened the doors of the world of cinema, working on films such as ‘Reinas’, ‘Alatriste’, ‘Los fantasmas de Goya’, ‘No controles y ‘La buena vida’ , among many others.
In recent years, he has lived through the golden age of Spanish series and has appeared in ‘Amar es para siempre’, ‘La valla’, ‘Vivir sin permiso’ and ‘Presunto culpable’ .
His most recent project is his incorporation into ‘Servir y Proteger’, the TVE series, in which he will play the doctor Matías Medina , who will arrive in the Distritro Sur neighborhood and will soon win over the neighbors.
He came to the TVE series along with the incorporation of actors such as Candela Serrat , Guadalupe Lancho , Berta Galo, Juan Carlos Vellido, Juan Díaz, Caterina Mengs or Santi Marín.

Unax Ugalde has shared his life for years with the journalist Neus Cerdà Balaguer . The couple is already forming a family thanks to their little ones: Odei (born in 2018) and Marc (who came into the world in 2021).
The actor, before falling in love with his current partner, had a long relationship with actress Ingrid Rubio for more than eight years. Although they always wanted to be discreet with their relationship, it was learned that in 2012 their lives went their separate ways.
