Biography[edit]

In mid–2007, Pepa Rus joined the secondary cast of the series Aída, playing the role of Mauricio's young niece Inmaculada "Macu" Colmenero, in her television debut. Regarding this, Rus commented: "It came to me by surprise. I found out on the bus when I was going to Seville to see my family. I dedicated myself to see all the chapters of 7 vidas and the first seasons of Aida."[1][2]

Subsequently, from 2008 until the end of the series in 2010, she starred in the role of Berta, a girl recently arrived in the city, in the series Maitena: Estados alterados [es]. In 2010, she made her film debut, playing Pepi in the film La mula [es], where she shared the screen with Mario Casas, María Valverde, and Secun de la Rosa.[3]

In 2015, she joined the series Gym Tony [es], where she played Secundina "Secun" Garcia, a complaining neighbor who lives above the gym and who continually threatens Tony with reporting him.[4][5] In 2017 she again played Secundina García in the spin-off Gym Tony LC [es].

In theater she has participated in the plays Insolación (2015) and A media luz los tres [es] (2016), by Miguel Mihura.
