A life in theatre and on screen
From the stages of Barcelona to films by Pedro Almodóvar.
Barcelona, Spain
Between stage and cinema
Lluís Homar is a Spanish actor and theatre director born in Barcelona on 20 April 1957. His career has moved between the stage, cinema and television, with theatre forming a substantial part of his work.
In Catalan theatre, Homar has acted and directed across a wide range of productions. His stage work includes Terra Baixa, in a 2014 production directed by Pau Miró in which Homar performed every role.
His screen work includes two films directed by Pedro Almodóvar: Bad Education (2004) and Broken Embraces (2009). In the latter, he plays Harry Caine, a filmmaker whose past returns through the film’s interwoven timelines.
Homar played Max in Kike Maíllo’s science-fiction film Eva (2011). The role earned him the Goya Award for supporting actor at the 2012 ceremony.
From 2019 to 2024, he directed Spain’s Compañía Nacional de Teatro Clásico, working as both director and performer on its productions. His career shows the exchange between stage technique and the more intimate scale of screen acting.
