He was a Colombian lawyer, comedian, actor,
journalist, political critic and pacifist. He was
the most recognized activist in the country not
only because of his characters, but because of
the messages and criticisms he transmitted to
viewers through his characters.
He is considered a representative figure of
young Colombians since he always supported
the peaceful ideologies of the country’s youth
and considered them the future of the nation.
His birth name was Jaime Hernando Garzon Forero. He was born at October 24, 1960,
in Bogotá.
He studied in the Faculty of Law in the Colombia National University, faculty which I
don’t finish. However, after his death, the Faculty awarded him the posthumous title
of lawyer and honoris causa in education and as peace mediator.
He was mayor of the town of Sumapaz between 1988 and 1990, during the capital
administration of the ex-President Andrés Pastrana.
Finally, Jaime Garzon was killed on August 13, 1999 in the city of Bogotá when he
was on his way to the station where he worked.
Jaime Garzon is a social leader who,
despite his death, marked a generation
that always remembers him for his
desire to see a Colombia full of peace
and without corruption, also for being
the activist of the pacifist movement in
the country and, mainly, of young
people.
Jaime Garzón was the cause of the change in mentality of
the majority of Colombians, that mentality that changed
thanks to his characters that mocked the politics of the
country, with which I open our eyes, and made us believe in
a country full of peace, in the midst of so much war.

Some of these programs and representative characters are:

• Heriberto de la Calle (La Lechuza)
• Emerson de Francisco (Zoociedad)
• Godofredo Cínico Caspa (¡Quac! El noticiero)
