At the end of 2021, Antonio Resines, born in Torrelavega in Cantabria in 1954, faced a frightening period in intensive care due to Covid. That ordeal fueled his advocacy for public health, and he has since been eager to repay the gratitude he felt from those lifesaving efforts. Now, his workload is piling up: the comedy’s second season debuted on Movistar Plus, and he is eyeing new projects with TVE, Mediaset, and Amazon. A sense of urgency marks everything as he seeks to honor the care that sustained him.
In this season, Müller and his friend Rafa, played by Miguel Rellán, continue living under the same dynamic of taunts and grumpiness that has defined their relationship. The routine of their companionship remains intact while the humor and friction evolve in light of new experiences.
Rafa, who has faced cancer, serves as a constant reminder of resilience and vulnerability. The two men have spent nearly every day bickering over something, reflecting how aging amplifies irritants and daily frictions for many people who grow older.
Müller confronts intimidation from a conductor and a student who believes he will seize his place. This raises a broader question about recognition in the creative professions and whether experience continues to be valued as time passes.
Responding to that inquiry, the actor notes that there are countless variables making a definitive answer impossible. He adapted to changing times and did not feel overwhelmed by pressure. There are more options now, more doors to take, and even pathways into music for those who seek them.
The drama this season centers on accepting aging, with Müller experiencing discomfort as months unfold. The question about taboos surrounding aging is raised, inviting a deeper look at how society handles the natural process of growing older.
A common trend is that many avoid aging by clinging to youth, but the reality is inescapable. The discussion underlines that different generations show varying levels of vitality, and that self-care becomes essential as one grows.
A question lingers: does age weigh on Müller as much as it weighs on anyone else? The answer acknowledges that physical ailments do accumulate, yet a person can still feel young. Exercise remains important, though time often limits it. A daily walk can help, and moderation in eating is advised. The actor notes that recovering from Covid required rebuilding strength and muscle, accompanied by a cautious approach to stairs that reflects a practical respect for aging bodies.
The topic of staging post-Covid memories prompts a candid reflection. After leaving the illness, the hope was to return to former levels of health, and there was a strong urge to do everything again. While the solidarity messages from supporters were appreciated, the memory of those days is something he prefers not to dwell on.
Resines emphasizes a lifelong debt to public health. He credits the system with saving his life and asserts that its professionals deserve protection and proper resources. Public health, he argues, should be funded adequately because society as a whole benefits, even those who never directly use its services. He acknowledges the challenge of keeping such a system well-equipped and states that meaningful agreements and sufficient tools are essential to give healthcare workers every chance to continue their vital work.
With the clock ticking, the actor seems determined to seize opportunities as projects accumulate. Films including From Little Red Riding Hood to the Wolf, Methuselah, and Verminals are awaiting release, and he is set to appear in El hotel de los líos alongside other commitments. The Malaga Festival acts as a magnet, bringing multiple projects into focus at once.
Many of his conversations have an element of freshness, as he describes a remarkable role in another drama titled Cuatro estrellas. He also reveals that he has begun filming Serrines, madera de actor, in which he takes the lead and even performs in a comic capacity. The blend of drama and humor seems tailored to keep his career vibrant.
The last project, described as a self-parody, was initially conceived as a documentary before being adapted for other formats. It was sold to Mediaset and Amazon Prime, and now it is moving forward with production.
When asked what the new project is about, the actor explains a portrait of a well-known yet jealous and morally flawed man with a lean toward feminist and, at times, homophobic attitudes. The narrative follows a messy life: a best friend dies, a wife leaves, and a romance with a journalist rekindles as a means to win her over. The protagonist abandons superficial pursuits to chase high culture, from Shakespeare to Spanish classics, and ultimately attempts a version of Don Quixote as cinema. It is all presented with a sense of humor that punctures pretension.
Fran Perea has promised a reunion with Los Serrano for the show’s 20th anniversary. He plans to contribute to an anniversary album with Víctor Elías, though Resines admits that singing is not his strength. He will participate in whatever the project requests, though.
Asked whether the long-running show still draws interest, Resines notes that curiosity persists. The show remains popular, often replayed with new viewers discovering it through different platforms. He jokes about taking pictures with young fans and acknowledges that the show has become a classic that continues to captivate audiences.
