Coco Prada is a Colombian actor known for his dramatic ensemble work across international productions, including "Ncis: No Country Is Safe" (2025), "Breathtaking" (2024) and "Mrs Sidhu Investigates" (2023).

Born in Colombia, he trained in drama at prestigious institutions in both Bogotá and Buenos Aires, developing a foundation that would later define his approach to character-driven performances. His early career saw him take leading roles in Latin American television, notably in "Arrepentidos" (NatGeo/Fox Television Argentina) and "Correo de Inocentes" (RCN Televisión Colombia).

​

He has established himself as an actor's actor in theatre, performing extensively in Buenos Aires and receiving a special invitation to perform at the Serge Constantin Theatre reopening for the Mauritian Ministry of Arts and Culture. His voice work includes narration for the documentary "El Viaje de Tomas", demonstrating his versatility across performance mediums.

​

His transition to British television has been marked by significant collaborations in ensemble dramas. In "Mrs Sidhu Investigates" (2023), he worked alongside BAFTA-winning actress and MBE recipient Meera Syal, while the intense NHS drama "Breathtaking" (2024) saw him share the screen with Golden Globe winner Joanne Froggatt, renowned for her role in "Downton Abbey".

2024-2025 has proven particularly notable, with Prada working on two major productions. He collaborated with acclaimed cinematographer Benjamin Kračun, BSC, winner of the 2024 European Film Academy Award for Best Cinematography for "The Substance", and visionary director Steve Barron, known for his pioneering work in music videos and recipient of the Gotham Award.
