He is best known in the United States for his portrayal of Lalo Salamanca in Better Call Saul (2018–2022). He also starred as Jack Duquesne in the 2021 Marvel Cinematic Universe miniseries Hawkeye.

Álvaro Luis Bernat Dalton was born in Laredo, Texas, on February 13, 1975, the son of an American mother and a Mexican father. He attended the Eaglebrook School in Deerfield, Massachusetts, then studied acting at New York City's Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute.
