The actor’s stepfather Carsten Jensen posted on Facebook that he and Raphael were close. “As a child, he was old-wise, extremely literate and loved to lecture adults with his always astonishing knowledge,” Jensen wrote. He shared that “there’s nothing that makes you see death as unfair and meaningless as when a young person dies.”
Raphael’s mother Liz Jensen also posted about his death. She wrote on Twitter, “His family could not be prouder. Let’s celebrate all he achieved in his short life and cherish his legacy.”
Who Was Raphael Coleman?
Raphael wasn’t just an actor. He was also a dedicated environmental activist. As his stepfather posted on Facebook, Raphael traveled the world alone at age 18, including a year in Costa Rica and six months in Indonesia.
Under the name Iggy Fox, Raphael worked with activist group Extinction Rebellion. He was arrested several times for protesting, and was due in court this April for painting the Brazilian Embassy red when the Amazon was burning.
