He then went on to act in various episodes of well-known Spanish TV series, including "El Comisario" and "Los Serrano".

Different and more prominent roles in international projects followed. In 2019 Foronda was seen in the Swedish C-More TV series Gåsmamman with the credited role of the cunning and implacable Colombian drug dealer "El Largo".
