Romanian actor

Florin Opritescu

has died at the age of 42 after more than a year with treatment for leukemia.

The actor, popular in our country for series such as

Sea of ​​Plastic

,

Charon

,

Serve and Protect

or

The Unit

was diagnosed in October 2020 with this disease and last March he underwent a bone marrow transplant for his son.

"My son's cells must adapt well to my body and that my cells do not attack them," explained the interpreter last summer in a video on his Instagram account, in which he recounted that the transplant was "like changing a factory of blood that was inside. "

In the same publication, Oprtescu showed his "optimism" to resume his professional career.

"I was fighting against this disease ... and I beat him, how could it be otherwise," he said.

After five cycles of chemotherapy, as he himself explained, the actor was ready to resume a career that, despite his death, will add a more posthumous title:

The cold that burns.

The film directed by

Santi Trullenque

and

starring

Greta Fernández, Pedro Casablanc

and

Aida Folch

will hit theaters next year.

The Romanian, born in Timisoara, came to Spain in 2000 and began working as a cook for a living.

In his two decades in Spain he has participated in various series but his main role was that of Vlad Dragici, a cruel Serbian mobster willing to do anything for money, in the second season of

Mar de Plástico,

the Atresmedia fiction.

Opritescu's career, which began with acting at an advanced age, also has film titles such as

Dos a la carte

,

Plan de fuga

,

Sara's notebook

or

Bajo cero

and he earned the respect and affection of a large part of his companions. In fact, they have been the ones who have made the death of the actor known with their messages of affection.

Fernando Cayo, a colleague in

Mar de plastic

, defined him in his social networks as "a beautiful giant with a heart of gold" and Rodolfo Sancho stressed that he was "a great actor with an incredible plant, a magnificent companion and person".

"I will always keep you in my memory, dear Florin. My condolences to all that precious family that you leave ...", affirmed

Alain Hernández.
