Enrique Molina Hernández

Outstanding film, theater and television actor. He possesses, among other awards and distinctions, the Honorary Title in the First edition of the Enrique Almirante Award (2015) and is an Artist of Merit of the Cuban Institute of Radio and Television.

Enrique Molina is a Cuban actor, not from an academy or artistic family, but rather one of talent and hard work. He is popular and beloved by people, because he has always been humble and because to every character he plays, whether large or small, leading or supporting role, he puts his heart and his genius.

Of very humble origins, he was born in Santiago de Cuba and in that, the most Caribbean of Cuban cities, he would turn toward acting at the beginning of the 1960s of the last century, from the ranks of the amateur movement. He began within a group belonging to the Union of Gastronomic Workers, to later enter that founding collective which was the Dramatic Ensemble of the East.

Over time he would become one of Cuba's most versatile and organic actors. For several decades of work, he has worked in different media: television, theater and Cuban cinema. When a television station, Tele Rebelde, was created in his native city, he joined the medium in 1968 that has been and is fundamental to his profession.

Upon moving to Havana, he continued developing his talent in television serials, adventure programming, and telenovelas such as the popular Tierra Brava.

In his passage through the most varied spaces of dramatized programming, his role in the serial En silencio ha tenido que ser stands out.

On stage, unforgettable is the occasion when he played Lenin in the play El carrillón del Kremlim. His opening to the experience of the seventh art began under the direction of filmmaker Manuel Pérez, in the early 1970s in the film El hombre de Maisinicú.

One of his most well-known and successful roles was his Silvestre Cañizo in 'Tierra Brava'.
