Farnesio de Bernal was born in Zamora, Michoacán, Mexico on November 20, 1926. He began his entertainment career as a choreographer, actor and dancer. Farnesio appeared in 89 films and television appearances between 1963 and 2016. He also directed and produced one short film “Duermase mi niña” in 1976.
He appeared with Angelina Jolie in the film “Original Sin” in 2001, but the theater was his passion. Farnesio said, "There are actors who succeed and do the same character impression, there are people who get into theater, acting not because they love acting, but because they want to be famous, rich, admired. Not because they want to dedicate themselves to the theater, they succeed. It would not give me satisfaction for reasons other than the talent, the love you have for your career." He was awarded the Fine Arts Medal in 2011.
Farnesio de Bernal died in Mexico City on April 7, 2023, at the age of 96.
Farnesio appeared in one Euro-western as the monk in 1979’s “Eagle’s Wing” with Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston and Harvey Keitel.
