Carlos Alfonso Barbosa Romero (Cali, January 15, 1944 – Bogotá, October 9, 2025) was a Colombian actor and director of television, film, and theater.
Barbosa earned a degree in Architecture from the University of Valle in Cali, where he was part of the university’s theater group, which later became the Department of Performing Arts. He later joined the National Theater Company of Colombia, which went on a tour that ended in Costa Rica. Afterward, he moved to San Andrés and Providencia before returning to Bogotá, where he joined the cast of the Teatro Popular de Bogotá (TPB). His television debut took place in 1969 in the telenovela Candó. Among his most memorable television roles are Eurípides, a gay hairdresser, in the 1986 telenovela El Divino; the doorman of the apartment building where the Casas family lived in the children’s show Imagínate (1988); and Ernesto in the comedy series Vuelo secreto (1992–1998). Carlos Barbosa also appeared in La saga: negocio de familia (2004) and Bermúdez (2009), in which he played Gerardo Bermúdez. In 2010, he portrayed Abdul in El clon, a Telemundo production. He passed away on October 9, 2025, at his home in Bogotá, after battling multiple myeloma for two months, a condition that progressively worsened.
