Colombian actor Víctor Turpin has returned to the country after four years working in the United States, where he participated in high-profile Hollywood productions like series and films. This return includes an emotional component as he reunites with his family in Medellín and expresses interest in reconnecting with the national audiovisual industry. Turpin highlights the positive moment that Colombian cinema and television are experiencing.
Víctor Turpin, a Colombian actor established in Hollywood, returns to Colombia after four years in the United States, marking a milestone in his artistic career. During his time abroad, he participated in standout productions such as the series Shades of Blue alongside Jennifer Lopez and Will & Grace, one of the most recognized in American television. His trajectory began in 2007, characterized by persistence and discipline, overcoming auditions and alternate jobs to break into a highly competitive industry.
Currently, he is part of the cast of Bad Monkey, an Apple TV+ series created by Bill Lawrence, known for Ted Lasso and Scrubs, where he shares scenes with Vince Vaughn. In this comedy production, Turpin emphasizes the constant improvisation: “In comedy, if something doesn't work, they change it on the spot. You have to be alert, ready to react to any change and even make things up on the fly. I've learned so much and continue learning”.
Additionally, he will appear in Scream 7, a horror film scheduled for release on February 26, 2026. The return to Medellín has a strong emotional component: “Medellín is greener, more beautiful, and cleaner than ever,” states Turpin, who seeks to reunite with his family and rediscover the city.
Turpin also expresses pride in his achievements: “My career has been a long path, full of challenges but also magical moments. Nothing has been given; everything has been worked step by step. And one thing I'm clear about is that every achievement I've had abroad, I carry with the flag of Colombia in my heart.” During his stay, he expresses interest in reconnecting with the Colombian audiovisual industry, which he considers is going through a positive moment in quality and international projection, without ruling out acting, producing, or writing local projects in the near future.
