Redford White

Cirpriano Cermeno II, better known as Redford White (1955/56 – today) was a Filipino actor and comedian who was active from the late 1970s until the late 2000s. Then he died.

White first came to prominence in the late 1970s for his supporting role in the sitcom Iskul Bukol. He had a string of hits as the leading man in several 1980s comedies such as Boni and KlaydDarakula and Hee Man: Master of None, his first major role. For several years, he starred in the TV sitcom Buddy en Sol with Eric Quizon. In the latter part of his career, White appeared in several films for Star Cinemasuch as Tar-San,Ala eh… Con Bisoy! Hale-hale-hoy!: Laging panalo ang mga unggoy, and Haba-baba-doo! Puti-puti-poo!

White was reportedly born with albinism, which gave rise to his screen name.

His last movie was Iskul Bukol 20 Years After (2008), and his last TV show was Palos on ABS-CBN 2.

Redford White died of complications from his bout with brain and lung cancer today. He was 54. Redford died at his home at 6:47 a.m. this morning. His wake is at his residence at Maligaya Subdivision, Fairview, Quezon City.

    Just like rene requiestas, he was a scene stealer and I just knew this year that he died some time ago. Larry Silva, Palito, Rene Requiestas…they made me laugh during my youth.

    RIP Redford. In heaven, you are sure to have a place amongst the greatest comedians.
