Jorge Humberto Robles

Jorge Humberto Robles

Born: 1943-08-20 • Mexico City, Distrito Federal, Mexico

Studying in high school at UNAM, he climbed onto his first stages. Then he tried to study Economics, while working as an employee in a furniture store. In 1968 he worked as a journalist in the newspaper El Día, and then in the AMEX agency, dissolved by the government after starting a strike. He returned to acting at the Teatro Del Bosque and at the Jiménez Rueda, put in a greater number of daily hours as a host at the station Radio Universidad. Rafael Corkidi hired him for a film that Carlos Illescas was writing: Angeles y querubines. Jorge Humberto Robles had his first starring role there. His work partner: Helena Rojo

Around 1974 he worked as an actor in the Theater Company of the Universidad Veracruzana. In Xalapa he took part in few plays: he began to have problems with his eyesight and that year he lost an eye. -"What happened to Borges is happening to me," he used to joke very intimately, without petulance, without exaggerating the comment, "Anyway, there is not much to see".

Then, shortly after, came the project of making a film and he and his friends made it, creating an independent work unit, which resulted in Bandera rota, directed by Gabriel Retes.

On November 1, 1983, despite his success as a theater actor, he shot himself in the right temple.
