Biography
Ramón Mariano Fernández Lera was born in 1949 in A Estrada, Province of Pontevedra, raised for most of his childhood in Corcubión and then moved to Madrid.[2] Prior to acting he was aeronautic engineer, pilot, bank teller and studied psychology.[3] He began a career as a stage actor in the late 1970s,[4] including his performance in the Eduardo Fuentes-directed stage play Cabaret Castizo (premiered in Madrid on 5 January 1993), portraying a sheriff making a parody out of authoritarian Madrid city councillor Ángel Matanzo; Matanzo's attempts to bring down the play eventually prompted his own sacking from the municipal government board.[5][6][7][8][9][10] One of his most well known film credits was that of the psychiatrist in Alejandro Amenábar's Abre los ojos.[11]
He won the Silver Biznaga for Best Actor in the 2002 Málaga Film Festival together with the rest of the cast of Smoking Room.[11]
His television work includes performances in Los ladrones van a la oficina, Médico de familia or Cuéntame cómo pasó.[1] His last television work was his performance as Ramón in Mira lo que has hecho.[11][12]
He died on 19 May 2022, age 72, in the wake of a car accident in Rincón de la Victoria.[11][1] He was the single occupant of a vehicle that went off the road and fell down a 50-metre steep slope, landing on a plantation.[13]
