Enrique Liporace

Enrique Liporace (10 June 1941 – 27 January 2024) was an Argentine actor.

Life and work Liporace began his career as an actor in 1963, when he was cast in La terraza, directed by period piece filmmaker Leopoldo Torre Nilsson. He earned extensive credits as a supporting actor in Argentine cinema, television and theatre in subsequent years, working with leading local directors such as Luis Saslavsky, Hugo del Carril, Lucas Demare, and Manuel Antín. Liporace shared an ill-fated relationship with actress Soledad Silveyra during the late 1960s, though the couple never married.

Liporace's role as Basile, the compromised mining engineer in Adolfo Aristarain's Tiempo de revancha (1981) would become one of his best-known, and the following year, he starred in Aristarain's thriller, Últimos días de la víctima. He also returned to the theatre, and acted in Al vencedor, a military drama by Osvaldo Dragún, during the Argentine Open Theatre festival of the early 1980s.

The versatile actor played a transvestite man immersed in intrigue in Hebert Posse Amorim's 1985 critique of corporate control over broadcasting in Sin querer, queriendo (Accidentally on Purpose). These roles never brought the recognition Lioprace sought, however,

Liporace died on 27 January 2024, at the age of 82.
