Raúl Rafael Juliá y Arcelay (March 9, 1940 – October 24, 1994) was a Puerto Rican actor. Born in San Juan, he gained interest in acting while still in school. Upon completing his studies, Juliá decided to pursue a career in acting. After performing locally for some time, he was convinced by entertainment personality Orson Bean to move and work in New York City. Juliá, who had been bilingual since his childhood, soon gained interest in Broadway and Off-Broadway plays. He performed in mobile projects, including The Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre.
Juliá was eventually noticed by Joseph Papp, who offered him work in the New York Shakespeare Festival. After gaining visibility, he received roles in two television series, Love of Life and Sesame Street. For his performance in Two Gentlemen of Verona, he received a nomination for the Tony Award and won a Drama Desk Award. Between 1974 and 1982, Juliá received Tony Award nominations for Where's Charley?, The Threepenny Opera and Nine. During the 1980s, he worked in several films, receiving nominations for the Golden Globe Awards, for his performance in Tempest, and Kiss of the Spider Woman, winning the National Board of Review Award for Best Actor for the latter.
In 1991 and 1993, Juliá portrayed Gomez Addams in two film adaptations of The Addams Family. In 1994, he filmed The Burning Season, for which he won a Golden Globe Best Actor award, and a film adaptation of the Street Fighter video games. Later that year, Juliá suffered several health afflictions, eventually dying after suffering a stroke. His funeral was held in Puerto Rico, being attended by thousands. For his work in The Burning Season, Juliá won a posthumous Golden Globe, Emmy and SAG Award.
De son union avec l'actrice Merel Poloway, il a deux fils : Raúl Sigmund, né en 1983, et Benjamin Rafael, né en 1987.
L'un de ses rôles dramatiques les plus marquants est celui d'un prisonnier politique dans Le Baiser de la femme araignée (1985), mais c'est surtout son rôle de père de famille atypique dans la comédie fantastique d'humour noir La Famille Addams (1991), et sa suite (1993), qui lui vaut la reconnaissance auprès du grand public.
En 1993, il apprend qu'il est atteint d'un cancer de l'estomac. Sa santé devient chancelante, mais il continue à tourner, et le rôle d'un écologiste brésilien dans le téléfilm The Burning Season (1994) lui vaudra deux récompenses posthumes.
Le 16 octobre 1994, affaibli, il est victime d'un accident vasculaire cérébral dans son appartement new-yorkais et tombe dans le coma. Il décède le 24 octobre à l'âge de 54 ans. Son corps est rapatrié à Porto Rico, où des milliers d'admirateurs viennent lui rendre hommage. Son dernier film, Street Fighter, lui est dédié.
