Paula Cancio is a Spanish actress who's had the acting bug in her blood since childhood - it runs in the family, as her paternal grandfather Raúl Cancio was a popular actor back in the 1940s. After qualifying as a psychologist and completing her acting studies, we've seen her perform in film and television; she currently plays Diana in Antena 3's series "Toledo, Crossroads".
We also interviewed her co-star Fernando Cayo. You can read the full interview here.
When she's not studying scripts, she enjoys practising her hobbies like going running, kart racing, or dreaming about trying other extreme sports like kitesurfing. Want to know what she told us?
