Carlos Elejalde Garay was born on 10 October 1960 in Vitoria-Gasteiz.[1][2] He developed his early acting career on independent stage plays.[2]
After making his feature film debut with a role in the 1987 film A los cuatro vientos, Elejalde's collaborations with Basque cinema auteurs such as Juanma Bajo Ulloa, Álex de la Iglesia or Julio Medem launched his acting career in the 1990s.[3]
He made his feature film directorial debut by shooting the 2000 film Año Mariano in tandem with Fernando Guillén Cuervo, later making his solo debut with the 2004 film Torapia.[4]
In 2014 he replaced Benito Pocino as Mortadelo in Mortadelo y Filemón contra Jimmy el Cachondo (2014).[5] He played Koldo in Ocho apellidos vascos.[6] He reprised the same role in Ocho apellidos catalanes (2015).[7] After the success of both films, he affirmed he won't play the next sequels.[8][9] In 2016 he appeared in 1898: Los últimos de Filipinas as Brother Carmelo.[10]
During the 25th Goya Awards in 2011 he was awarded by the Goya Award for Best Supporting Actor.[11] In 2015 he was awarded by the same prize at the 29th Goya Awards.[12]
