Andrés García García (May 24, 1941 – April 4, 2023) was a Dominican-Mexican actor. He served as a scuba diving instructor in Acapulco.
Career
García was born and raised in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. He was the son of Spanish exiles from the Spanish Civil War who received refuge in the country during the regime of Rafael Leónidas Trujillo. His father was a Spanish Republican combat aviator named Andrés García La Calle.
García emigrated to Mexico, where he obtained Mexican nationality and pursued a career in show business. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, he participated in movies, Spanish soap operas and photo-romance novels (magazine featuring photos of actors who create a story—a popular phenomenon across Latin America during the 1970s).
In 1985 García participated in Tú o nadie, with Lucía Mendez and Salvador Pineda. Tú o nadie became a major hit and helped García to receive many international offers. He accepted an offer to go to Puerto Rico in 1986, where he acted in the soap operas Amame, with Johanna Rosaly, and Escándalo, with Iris Chacón and Charytín. Escándalo flopped, and the number of episodes recorded for that soap opera was cut in half by the television channel.
In 2005, García participated in a reality show titled El Principe Azul (The Blue Prince), a show geared toward finding his other son, Leonardo. García began to flirt with the young women on the show, going as far as having an on camera kiss with one of the contestants, making his son grow frustrated, and eventually, he left the show. Two previously unknown men were then cast to participate in the show and try to conquer one of the ladies involved in it. In 2006, he starred in the soap opera El Cuerpo del Deseo, broadcast by Telemundo International. The script of this telenovela is about transmigration, the passing of a soul into another body after death, coinciding with García's beliefs on this subject.
Personal life and death
In September 2003, García made one of his several appearances on Cristina, the Spanish-language talk show hosted by Cristina Saralegui, to defend entertainers against paparazzi. He participated in over 50 different projects, including film, theater, soap opera and photo-opera work.
García was also involved romantically, and remained friends, with Mexican model Carmen Campuzano and Puerto Rican singer Zeny, from the pop vocal duet Zeny & Zory.
García died on April 4, 2023, at the age of 81.
