Romanian theater and film actor. The eldest son of four children of the
Rutkovski family, along with Larisa, Natalia and Valentin. A former student at
the College "King Ferdinand" in Chisinau, who never liked to study,
but was fond of playing for the soccer team some time and playing roles in such
plays "Mociorniţa" in Bucharest. Colea then attended the Conservatory
of Dramatic Arts in Bucharest and became a member of the first choir ot Opera
in Cluj.
He debuted at Theatre Magazine in "Carabus" led
by Constantin Tanase, where he played mostly social-satirical couplets. There,
he sang for the first time the famous popular song "Ți-a ieșit coșaru-n
drum” by Gherase Dendrino, lyrics by Maximilian Puiu.
At the initiative of Sica Alexandrescu he played at the
National Theatre in Bucharest. Between 1952-1968 he performed at the Giuleşti
Theatre and briefly at the Theatre in Pitesti. Rautu played roles in over 70 feature
films, both Romanian, foreign and in television series. His debut role (Ilie
Barbu) remained his greatest role in his entire filmography. He debuted in the
film playing the protagonist in "Desfășurarea", directed by Paul
Calinescu. He played memorable roles in “Moara cu noroc”, “Mihai Viteazul”,
“Frații Jderi”, “Nemuritorii”, “Pintea” etc. Colea appeared in two
Euro-westerns “Apaches” (1973) and “Atkins” (1985).
