Life

Beginnings in Argentina and new beginnings in Spain

Héctor Colomé made his acting debut at the age of 15. He studied Economics and Theater at the National University of Argentina. In 1970 he won a theater award. When he came to Spain in 1976 he was already a renowned actor. In Madrid he made his debut at the Teatro Príncipe de Gran Vía .

He had his first major stage success in Spain in 1983 with Pedro Calderón de la Barca's piece Absalón (1983). A long acting career followed, in which he strung together stage appearances, film roles and voice acting roles. In the 1980s he appeared in La gran pirueta (1986), Cantando hago camino (1986) and Dios está lejos (1987), and he had a film role in Redondela (1987).

In the series Los Caballeros del Zodiaco he lent his dubbing voice to Ikki del Fénix, but also a number of other roles, namely Mu de Aries, Albiore de Cefeo, Aioros de Sagitario and Eo de Escila. His voice could also be heard in the series Falcon Crest , MacGyver , La familia Hogan , Columbo and others. He dubbed Roy Scheider in the 1988 thriller Cohen and Tate .

Theater work until 2000

In 1991 he made his debut in the genre of Zarzuela : with the role of villain in La gran sultana , he recommended himself for strong, authoritarian roles. His distinctive, austere facial features and his powerful voice also qualified him for it. He appeared in supporting roles in El Bateo and La revoltosa . In 1992 he joined the Compañía Nacional de Teatro Clásico under the director Adolfo Marsillach . Marsillach entrusted him with the role of the despotic commander in Fuenteovejuna . In the following season Marsillach decided to turn away from the serious subject and to the Teatro de la Comedia in the center of Madrid. In Don Gil de las calzas verdes , Colomé embodied the servant who helps his mistress to pretend to be a man. His stage partner was Adriana Ozores .

However, this comedic phase was only an interlude. In El médico de su honra he played Peter I of Castile . In the Guerra de los Dos Pedros , the war from 1356 to 1369 between Castile and Aragon , he feared for his life. His last appearance under Marsillach's direction was in La vida es sueño , another work by Pedro Calderón de la Barca. There Colomé played the king Basilio. His last appearance in the Compañía Nacional de Teatro Clásico had it in a famous comedy with tragic-serious background: The Misanthrope by Molière . Carlos Hipólito , Adriana Ozores and Antonio Vico stood with him on stage.

Independently of the collaboration with Marsillach, Héctor Colomé appeared in the same year in the Centro Dramático Nacional , in Eslavos under the direction of Jorge Lavelli . In the following years he developed a close collaboration with the director Juan Carlos Pérez de la Fuente . A few years later he became a member of the management of the Centro Dramático Nacional. On the stage came into San Juan by Max Aub , together with Juan José Otegui on. This collaboration continued in two other pieces: The first, La fundación (1999), is based on a text by Antonio Buero Vallejo, who deals with the Francoist censorship around 1974. The second project with Otegui was the visit of the Old Lady by Friedrich Dürrenmatt .

Film rolls

Despite his stage engagements, Héctor Colomé managed to take on roles in movies. Directed by Antonio Mercero , he played a Falangist in La hora de los valientes in 1998 . He shoots a Republican who had saved paintings in the Prado from destruction during the civil war . Under Vicente Aranda , Héctor Colomé played in Libertarias , together with Victoria Abril , Ana Belén and Miguel Bosé . This was followed by the role of Ferdinand II of Aragón in Juana La Loca , also under Vicente Aranda's direction . A few years later, he played a corrupt police officer in the series Policías, en el corazón de la calle . After filming this series, he played supporting roles in La caja 507 and El Lobo . In the latter, he played a Francoist officer who tries to avenge the death of Carrero Blanco .

For his stepson, the director Daniel Sánchez Arévalo , he played in the short film Física II . Héctor Colomé played the manager of a manor who tried to dissuade his son, played by Jorge Monje , from studying because he wanted his son to follow him in his job. The film has received numerous awards.

In Profilaxis , another short film by Arévalo, Colomé played a doctor who has to diagnose a patient with prostate cancer. Thanks to the short filming, Colomé was able to accept other film roles, including Obaba in 2005 . In it, he played a hotel owner suspected of driving one of his childhood friends insane.

The years from 2000

Meanwhile, he continued his theater career. In 2004 he played the leading role in Noche de reyes sin Shakespeare . With this he paid homage to the late Adolfo Marsillach, on whose text the piece is based. The following year he was in Edward III. by William Shakespeare on stage. In the same year he played a despot again in the film Tirano Banderas . In the series Amar en tiempos revueltos he played the entrepreneur Fabián Robles, who at the end of a morally dubious life suffers a stroke. While filming the sequels of this series, he began to play the role of a pimp in Filomena Marturano . His partner in the role of the whore was Concha Velasco .

In order to work on AzulOscuroCasiNegro , he interrupted a number of this work. Again, as in Física II , he played the role of an old man who has lost his memory. This film won three awards at the Malaga Festival . Three weeks later, Héctor Colomé received the news that he had been nominated as a candidate for the Best Supporting Actor Award by the Union of Actors .

In early 2007 he was nominated for the second time for the Unión de Actores Prize, this time for his role in Bienvenido a Farewall-Gutman . The film is about the succession conflict in a multinational corporation after the death of the personnel manager. At the 2007 Malaga Festival, another short film was released that dealt with age and illness: In Daniel Sánchez Arévalo's short film Traumotología , Héctor Colomé played a family man who had a heart attack on his son's wedding anniversary.

In the same year Tritones appeared , más allá de ningún sitio , also known under the title Estirpe de Tritones , Colomé played a leading role. The film is about a group of sailors who are sent across the Atlantic on a secret mission in a futuristic submarine and get caught up in a fantastic adventure. Also in 2007 were the films Pudor and NO-DO , in which Colomé had participated. He worked again with Vicente Aranda in the film adaptation of Juan Marsés Lolita’s club . In June 2007 he joined the filmmakers who asked the Minister of Culture Carmen Calvo to help edit the Spanish Film Act. That summer he started working on the series CLA No somos ángeles .

In 2014 he played the main role of Dr. Ricarte in the horror film [REC] 4 : Apocalipsis .

On February 28, 2015, he died in the Ruber de Mirasierra clinic in Madrid as a result of a pancreatic tumor .
