Born in 1957 in Seville.[2]

He had his debut in a feature film with a performance as 'Juan' ("a burly truck driver") in Benito Zambrano's 1999 drama Solas,[3][4] for which he earned the Actors Union Award for Best Film Performance in a Minor Role.[5][6] Since then, his early filmography includes supporting appearances in feature films such as El corazón del guerrero (2000), Fausto 5.0 (2001), Lucía y el sexo (2001), El alquimista impaciente (2002), La caja 507 (2002), Hable con ella (2002), Atraco a las tres... y media (2003) and El refugio del mal (ca) (2003), whereas he also performed in guest roles in television series such as Periodistas, El comisario, Policías, Abogados (es), Raquel busca su sitio and Padre Coraje (es) as well as the TV movies Jugar a matar and Diario de un skin (es).[7]

Later in his career Fernández performed a recurring role in Los hombres de Paco (Tomás aka "Castresana") in 2007,[8][9] and starred in the TV series Tierra de lobos, aired on Telecinco from 2010 to 2014, playing the authoritarian landlord Antonio Lobo, the main antagonist throughout the series.[10][11] He performed another antagonist role in the first two parts of the popular series Money Heist, playing Colonel Prieto, the CNI representative seeking to liberate Alison Parker from the Royal Mint.[12] In 2017, he joined the cast of Amar es para siempre to play Rodrigo Tuñón, a veteran of the Spanish civil war for the Rebel faction.[13]

Fernández landed supporting roles in two 2020 historical drama television series, Inés del alma mía and El Cid,[14][15] playing in both cases the grandfather of the lead character (Inés Suárez and Ruy Díaz).
