Biography

Edgardo Bruna studied at the Liceo Experimental Manuel de Salas and the San Felipe Boys School. In 1963 he entered the acting profession at the University of Chile, where he had national theater figures as teachers, such as Patricio Bunster, Eugenio Guzmán, and Agustín Siré. Thanks to a scholarship, he traveled to the United States to perfect his skills in dramatic arts at the University of California, Berkeley, home of the hippie movement in the late 1960s.[2] He decided to return to Chile in 1971 to be present in the government of President Salvador Allende. Later, after the 1973 coup d'état, he left for Mexico, where he lived for five years.[3]

Before dedicating himself to acting, he was a musician and participated in the folk group Los Paulos, together with Pedro Messone.[4] The group won the folkloric competition of the 1966 Viña del Mar International Song Festival with the song "La burrerita".[5]

He made his television debut in 1984 on the Channel 13 telenovela Los títeres. During the 1990s he joined the dramatic area of TVN, and later worked for Chilevisión and Mega. He participated in series such as Los archivos del cardenal, Prófugos, Ecos del desierto, and Príncipes de barrio. His last role was in Casa de Angelis, recorded just before his death.

He was president of the Union of Actors and Actresses of Chile (Sidarte), president of the National Union of Artists, and counselor of Chileactores.[1][6] In 2013 he was a candidate for regional councilor representing the Progressive Party for the Santiago Metropolitan Region. However, he was not elected.[7]

He died on 19 March 2017 at age 70, after suffering a heart attack at home at 4:00 p.m.[6][8] On 22 March, the Senate of Chile paid tribute to him for his work in the actors' union and his active participation in the preparation of the project which created the Ministry of Science and Technology.[9]

gollark: Just add another X5675 if you somehow end up needing 12 cores.
gollark: You could get an X5675 *later* perhaps?
gollark: Yes, but there's only one of them.
gollark: <@225457015340793856> I think the two E5645s would be more powerful.
gollark: If you're going around manually running `CREATE USER` and whatnot, it's probably about the same effort anyway.
