Sunshine Logroño, producer and friend of the comedian, expressed: “Albert and I have worked together for more than 25 years. This was totally unexpected and painful news. When I received it, I was just writing a sketch of hers. Albert was not only a good actor but a good director and talent identifier. I will miss him very much, we will miss him every day ”.

For her part, producer Gilda Santini added: “Unfortunately, we lose a talented person and one of the most experienced along with us. Albert was always an excellent partner, punctual, responsible, cooperative, and with a unique sense of humor.

The 58-year-old actor, director, and art teacher was part of the cast of El Remix. Precisely, his last appearance on the program was on March 10.

Rodríguez was born on November 7, 1962, and his university studies were carried out at the Theater Department of the University of Puerto Rico.
