Félix Fernández García (26 September 1897 – 4 July 1966) was a Spanish actor. He appeared in more than one hundred films from 1942 to 1969.
Biography He was born on September 26, 1897, in Cangas de Onís, Asturias.He was the son of Silverio Fernández Iglesias, an industrialist from Cangas, Pontevedra, and Micaela García García, from Las Salas, León. In 1916, he made his debut as a theater actor during a tour of Argentina. After returning to Spain, he worked with the theater companies of María Guerrero and Catalina Bárcena. In 1931, he moved to Paris, where he worked until 1934 as a voice actor at the Joinville studios, an activity he continued in Spain. After the Spanish Civil War, he began a long career in cinema, appearing in more than 200 films.
Magnificent in all his roles, he often played comic characters. His roles with director Luis García Berlanga stand out, such as the con man dressed as a Roman in Esa pareja feliz (co-directed by Rafael Bardem), the doctor in Bienvenido Mr. Marshall, and also the doctor in Los jueves, milagro.
He married on June 17, 1929, in the parish church of San Miguel, in Vitoria-Gasteiz, with the voice actress Irene Guerrero de Luna, whose real name was Irene Texidor Mendo (Madrid, May 18, 1911-Madrid, March 23, 1996).
He died in Valdetorres de Jarama, Madrid, of a heart attack while filming the movie El tesoro de O'Hara Padre (Father O'Hara's Treasure). After finishing one of the scenes, and not reappearing when the director called “cut,” the other actors rushed to his aid when they saw him lying on the floor, but there was nothing they could do for him. He died on July 4, 1966, although some sources erroneously cite July 9 as his date of death.
He is buried in the Cementerio de la Almudena in Madrid.
