Biography Pere Ponce Alifonso was born in Tortosa, province of Tarragona, in 1964. He studied a degree in psychology, but decided to pursue an acting career instead. Some of his early career in Catalonia include television works such as Pinnic and credits in films directed by Francesc Bellmunt such as Pa d'àngel (1984), (1985) and (1986).

Performances in films such as Atolladero, Alegre ma non troppo, The Law of the Frontier, El pianista, The Dutchman's Island, Football Days, The Great Vazquez, and Copito de Nieve followed. whilst his performance as Colombo in The Replacement (2021) earned him a nomination to the Feroz Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Film.

He played the popular role of Eugenio (a priest with progressive ideals who ends up quitting clergy) in Cuéntame cómo pasó from episode 10 on, leaving the series after 139 episodes with the character's onscreen death in 2014. Other television roles include performances in Tot un senyor, Jacinto Durante, representante, Falsa culpable, Isabel (playing ), Merlí (playing Eugeni Bosch) and Jo mai mai (playing Pere Garcia).
