Departures of note

Antonio Canal, born in Barcelona in 1936, began his theatrical career in the early 1960s after moving to Madrid. He performed with the Grupo de Teatro L'Horta and later joined the Centro Dramático Nacional and the Compañía Nacional de Teatro Clásico, appearing in dozens of stage productions ranging from children's plays to classic dramas.

In cinema, Canal acted in more than thirty films, including titles such as "La caja 507" and "Valèria". His most remembered television work was his portrayal of Father Froilán Cardeñosa in the long‑running series Cuéntame cómo pasó, a role he inhabited for fourteen years and that made him a familiar face to Spanish audiences.

Beyond acting, Canal became a prominent voice actor, most notably providing the Spanish voice of the beloved character Winnie the Pooh for two decades, as well as dubbing other characters such as Adam West in "Padre de familia" and Kaa in "El libro de la selva 2". His versatile career spanned theatre, film, television and dubbing, earning him recognition as a respected figure in Spanish entertainment.
