Havana/Actor Luis Alberto Ramírez (son), belonging to one of the most recognizable families in Cuban cinema and television, died this Monday in Havana, as confirmed by director Carlos Collazo. The interpreter died at the age of 65 and the cause of his death has not yet been reported.
Heir to the name, voice and stage presence of his father, the famous actor Luis Alberto Ramírez, he knew how to make his own path in acting. Trained in the tradition of acting that gave so much prestige to Cuban audiovisuals in the 20th century, he worked in television series and dramas that made him a regular face on the screen.
Ramírez’s presence in series and adventures evoked that solid acting school, of precise diction and emotional gravity, which marked entire generations of viewers.
Luis Alberto Ramírez (son) studied at the National School of Art and carried an artistic heritage that placed him within an essential genealogy. He participated in television projects such as Memories of a grandfather, Viceversa, Longed for encounter and in several episodes of the popular comedy program live from the story.
The actor’s departure occurs at a particularly vulnerable moment for Cuban culture, marked by exodus, the aging of emblematic figures and the institutional precariousness that affects the sector.
Those who shared the stage with him remember him as a disciplined, serene performer, one of those who supports a project from within, without fanfare, trusting in the organic nature of the craft. “The deepest condolences go to his family and friends,” Collazo wrote when announcing his death, a message that was quickly accompanied by dozens of colleagues who highlighted his humility and dedication.

Ramírez, however, remained on the Island, working, offering advice to the youngest and keeping alive a family tradition that began with his father and that accompanied a good part of the country’s audiovisual memory.
While waiting for an official note, close sources assure that the actor was found dead at his home during the morning.
