Joaquin Perles was born in the Cadiz province of Spain, where he grew up in the coastal town of El Puerto de Santa Maria. He is the youngest of four siblings, with no artistic background in the family. However, he fortunately discovered acting in High School, which has been a life-long passion ever since. He studied Law for three years in the University of Cadiz, and after changing his preference to a more artistic nature he got a B.A. in Spanish Language & Literature from the same University. As evidence of his dedication to acting during these stressful years, Joaquin balanced this demanding university curriculum by attending intensive workshops for professional actors in Madrid, Granada, Seville, Cadiz, etc. He also managed to put into practice this knowledge through work as an actor and director in different companies. Joaquin also has worked as a teacher of Spanish for foreigner actors. To broaden his horizons he also spent a year abroad in England, with the idea of staying in the country to study Drama in a British school. However, after this year in Great Britain he decided to come back to Spain to seize the great opportunity to study Drama in the International Actor's Studio "Juan Carlos Corazza" in Madrid. He graduated from this Studio after 4 intense years, in which during this time he gained professional experience & confidence via work in Film, Television and Theatre. With the work of full-time drama school behind him, Joaquin founded the La Puntilla Theatre with other three partners. This company (in which he also directed and worked as an actor) enjoyed a successful National Tour during 2003-04. After this production concluded, he successfully auditioned for a leading role with the Andalucian National Theatre (CAT) in a play called "The seven deadly sins" which toured for one year. When the tour of the CAT finished, he still had the desire of Acting in different languages and countries in order to continue opening new horizons. Joaquin choose to stay in Argentina for a period, which is a recognized world center for Acting and Theatre. After successfully establishing professional links with different professionals of this country, he traveled to the USA. Here, he has the opportunity to work closely with top professionals from different fields of the Film Industry at TVI Actors Studio, and starts to work in a regular basis with the well known acting coach 'Bernard Hiller'. Since his arrival in Los Angeles, agents, producers and casting directors in Hollywood have shown interest for him after he began to work and audition in Film, Theater and TV. Although he also travels to Europe and Latin America for professional reasons when projects arise. In 2007, he founded Perles Entertainment Group, with production companies in Spain, Los Angeles and Buenos Aires.
