Career

Apart from several forays into film ("Ushima Next" directed by Joan Frank Charansonnet and Jesus Manuel Montane, where he played the character of a psychologist), theatre ("Data de Caducitat" by Paolo Duarte, or "Behind" by Stephen Levy), and into short-films ("Illusion", "Hand", directed by Ramon Llull University of Barcelona, and "Adiccions" directed by graduates of Ites school), he starred in the Global Campaign for Nivea.

Jordi co-starred in a promotional shot-film of Larios 12, along with Malena Costa, in June 2011. In July 2011, he participated as co-star, along with Alexandra Jiménez, in Vega (singer)'s music video "Como yo no hay dos".

In 2007, Jordi participated in the series "La vía Augusta", where he played a Roman. A dramatic series of twelve one-hour episodes introducing the characters in a world of passion, power struggles, intrigue, desire and love.

On 7 January 2011, TV producer Globomedia posted on their Twitter account that there would be an exclusive casting to find the first male reporter on "Sé lo que hicisteis..." . Producer and TV-show confirmed the casting would take place on 18 January at Teatro Calderón of Madrid. After casting, the show announced their five finalists: Rodrigo H.
