Il Fatto Quotidiano: È morto Finnian Garbutt, l’attore della serie tv “Hope Street” malato di tumore alla pelle da quattro anni

Mondo del cinema in lutto. L’attore nordirlandese Finnian Garbutt, noto per il suo ruolo nella serie poliziesca “Hope Street”, è morto a 28 anni “serenamente a casa” dopo un improvviso peggioramento delle sue condizioni di salute. Nato a Bangor il 15 settembre 1997, Garbutt aveva preso parte alle ultime tre stagioni del drama prodotto da BBC “Northern Ireland” e girato a Donaghadee, nella contea di Down.
In un messaggio diffuso sui social, la famiglia ha annunciato la scomparsa: “Siamo devastati nel comunicare che Finnian è morto dopo un improvviso peggioramento. Ti ameremo e ci mancherai per sempre”. Nel testo, i familiari lo ricordano come “il miglior marito, padre, figlio, fratello e amico che si potesse desiderare”. Garbutt si era sposato lo scorso anno con la compagna Louise e lascia una figlia di appena un anno.
L’attore era malato da quattro anni di un tumore della pelle, diagnosi che aveva deciso di condividere pubblicamente. Diplomato nel 2019 al Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, aveva interpretato anche Benvolio in “Romeo e Giulietta” al Lyric Theatre di Belfast e preso parte a produzioni televisive come “Casualty”. Tra i suoi lavori anche il film “Housejackers”, presentato al Belfast Film Festival.
Lo scorso marzo, lo stesso Garbutt aveva reso noto di essere entrato “nelle fasi finali” della malattia: “Gli esami hanno mostrato che il cancro è progredito rapidamente”, aveva scritto, spiegando di voler dedicare il tempo restante alla famiglia e agli amici.
Cordoglio dal mondo dello spettacolo per la scomparsa dell’attore. Il collega Cameron Cuffe ha ricordato come egli “abbia portato gioia a così tante persone”. Eddie Doyle, responsabile dei contenuti di Bbc Northern Ireland, ha evidenziato l’importanza del ruolo di Garbutt nella serie: “È stato una componente essenziale del successo di “Hope Street”. Ha donato moltissimo al personaggio dell’agente Ryan Power”. Anche la casa di produzione Long Story Tv lo ha descritto come “un membro amatissimo della famiglia di ‘Hope Street'”, sottolineandone il talento.
