Gabriel Kaufmann began his acting career at the age of four in 2006, portraying Francisco in the soap opera Páginas da Vida, written by Manoel Carlos and directed by Jayme Monjardim. His performance earned him the 2007 Contigo! Award for Best Child Actor and the opportunity to work alongside esteemed Brazilian actors such as Lilia Cabral, Marcos Caruso, and Regina Duarte.
In the 2009 soap opera Caras & Bocas, written by Walcyr Carrasco and directed by Jorge Fernando, Gabriel stood out as Valdemir, earning another Contigo! Award nomination. That same year, he made his film debut in From Beginning to End, directed by Aluizio Abranches, acting alongside notable talents like Júlia Lemmertz, Fábio Assunção, Jean Pierre Noher, and Louise Cardoso.
After appearing in nine more Globo TV soap operas, series, and specials, Gabriel was chosen in 2015 from hundreds of young actors to join the cast of Malhação: Seu Lugar no Mundo, written by Emanuel Jacobina and directed by Leonardo Nogueira. His character, Arthur, was warmly received, earning him the Prêmio Jovem Brasileiro for "Fans' Favorite" and securing his place as one of five cast members to continue in the subsequent season, Malhação: Pro Dia Nascer Feliz (2016-2017), also written by Jacobina and directed by Adriano Melo.
Later, Gabriel pursued a degree in Journalism, graduating in 2024. Despite this, his passion for the arts remained strong, and in 2022 he was invited to play Abisai in the fourth season of the Record TV series Reis.
Following his graduation, Gabriel chose to fully dedicate himself to his artistic career, deepening his training with Argentine acting coach Eduardo Milewicz, with whom he had previously worked on Malhação. He has also focused on voice and body work, studying modern, realistic acting based on Method techniques popularized in the American film industry by legends such as Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep, and Tom Hanks, honing the essential skills for his craft.
