Fabio Iván Restrepo (15 August 1959 – 13 February 2022) was a Colombian actor, known mainly for playing Gerardo in the film Sumas y restas by Víctor Gaviria and for his extensive career in film and television in Colombia. Career
Restrepo worked as a taxi driver in the city of Medellín when he was discovered by director Víctor Gaviria, who offered him a leading role in his film Sumas y restas. In the 2004 film, he played a drug trafficker named Gerardo. His role earned him the recognition of specialized critics, who praised his naturalness when acting. This fact led him to be selected in a similar role in the TV series Sin tetas no hay paraíso, where he played a drug trafficker named Marcial. From then on, the actor became a recognized face of Colombian television, acting in numerous productions such as Rosario Tijeras (2010), Pablo Escobar, The Drug Lord (2012), Lady, la vendedora de rosas (2015) and Anónima (2015). He also appeared in film productions such as Satanás (2007), Garcia (2010), Edificio Royal (2012) and Talento millonario (2017). Illness and death
Restrepo was hospitalized in the ICU of the Sagrado Corazón Clinic in Medellín on 23 December 2021, after testing positive for COVID-19, a disease that worsened because he was diabetic and hypertensive, causing pneumonia. This led to his death on 13 February 2022, at the age of 62. His son, actor Andrés Restrepo, also died on 23 January from COVID-19. Filmography
