Biography

His acting career began at age eleven when Argentine producers discovered him playing soccer on a Copacabana sidewalk. He was cast in Tercer Mundo (1962), a Brazilian-Argentine co-production filmed in Rio's hill slums, though it was only released in 1973. Following this role, he acted in Luigi Pirandello's play "O Homem Besta e a Virtude," earning several theatrical revelation awards in 1962. This success led to numerous appearances as a child actor on Grande Teatro Tupi (1951) over the next two years, kickstarting his 55-year television career.

In 1965, he debuted on Globo TV, Brazil's largest TV network, starring in the telenovela Rua da Matriz (1965), the network's first serial drama. Throughout the following decades, some of his most notable roles included 'Tavico' in Estúpido Cupido (1976) and 'Toninho Jiló' in Roque Santeiro (1985), the latter perhaps his most iconic character.
