Alberto Olmedo (Barrio Pichincha, Rosario, Santa Fe Province, August 24, 1933 – March 5, 1988) was an Argentine comedian and actor.Olmedo was born in the city of Rosario. In his teens, he was a gifted gymnast and an aspiring actor, who tried his luck with several amateur theater companies and enjoyed some local success.Olmedo moved to Buenos Aires in 1954. One year later, while working as a technician in Canal 7, Argentina's first television station, his improvisation skills caught the attention of the management, who gave him acting jobs in several TV shows.Even though Olmedo had a string of successful children's programs during the 1960s, the peak of his abilities would arrive when given the opportunity to mix slapstick, nonsense, and adult-oriented entertainment.
Fito Páez wrote a song, "Tema de Piluso", which is in his memory.

Died when he fell by accident from the 11th floor. He was supposedly drunk that night because him and his girlfriend was celebrating that she was pregnant. Due to his "funny" personality he wanted to make a joke hanging from the balcony but his hands couldn't sustain his body. When his girlfriend came to help him he dropped himself to avoid his girlfriends fall. His mother died the same day when she learned about his death.
