Spanish actor from 'Vis a Vis' and 'Toy Boy' dies at 37

Spanish actor José de la Torre died on December 5th at the age of 37, causing great commotion among fans and artists.

According to several media outlets, such as the newspaper El Mundo, the cause of his early departure was an unspecified "serious illness", diagnosed a few months ago and for which the actor was undergoing treatment.

José Antonio de la Torre Delgado was known for his work in successful series such as 'Toy Boy' (2019), 'Amar es para Siempre' (2020), 'Vis a vis: el Oasis' (2020), and 'Servir y Proteger' (2017).

José de la Torre was born in 1987 in Montilla, a city in the province of Córdoba, in southern Spain.

De la Torre began his acting studies in 2018 at the School of Dramatic Art (ESAD) in Málaga, Spain.

"I was a child who couldn't stop watching movies, simply to entertain myself, and that caught me and sowed in me the seed that would later become the desire to want to dedicate myself to this," De la Torre told Montilla Digital some time ago.

He made his first screen appearance over a decade ago and appeared in a music video by singer Nena Daconte.

Later, the actor played Iván Nieto Guillén in the series 'Toy Boy' (2019), a production that stood out when it arrived on Netflix's schedule.

He then participated in the Antena 3 series 'Amar es para Siempre' (2020), in the eighth season. And in 2021, he starred in the second season of 'Toy Boy'.

In addition to television and theater, De la Torre has also worked as a model for renowned brands such as Boss and Bvlgari.

In 'Vis a vis: El Oasis ', he played Agent Pérez, in episodes 1, 2, 3, and 4.

As expected, several celebrities mourned his departure, including Cristina Castaño, with whom he shared scenes in 'Toy Boy', and singer Pablo Alborán.

“I can’t believe you’re gone so soon José, I’m devastated by your departure. I’m going to miss you so much, my friend,” said the Spanish musician.
