| Bio: | As a small child, I had a book which I cared for more than anything in life. It was called L'Opera de la Lune and it was about a boy who was friends with the moon. She (in French, like in Portuguese, the moon is always feminine) took the boy on a journey to see a theatre where the curtain never fell. Anytime you went there something was always happening on the stage. I was absolutely enthralled by the story. More firmly than I have ever believed anything else, I believed I was the boy in the moon. I don't mean it as a symbol. I actually believed I was that boy. If it really is true that we go through life making up characters for ourselves and for others, then perhaps I was. Perhaps the boy in the moon is the closest I ever got to having an identity of my own. I'm an actor in Brazil. I also do translation work. I don't believe there ever was an actor who really knew why he or she took to it in the first place. Or a translator. Or a tramp. I suspect it must have something to do with the sounds that came through the window when you were little. Like some old lady playing the piano in the house next door. You don't know anymore if it's memory or imagination. Maybe it's both, like when you're on the stage or in front of a camera. Or hovering between two languages. But then this can be my madness, not other people's. Whatever. I've been in 19 stage productions (the latest: a revival of Peter Schaffer's Equus at the Teatro Villa-Lobos, Rio de Janeiro, in 2004); 21 TV shows (usually in bit parts as a foreigner of some sort; the latest: Eterna Magia, Globo TV, 2007); and three films (the latest: Walter Lima Jr.'s Os Desafinados/Slightly Out of Tune, starring Rodrigo Santoro and Claudia Abreu, to be released in April of 2008). I live in Rio, where I was born. Sometimes my work takes me to Sao Paulo. I wish it would take me to lots of other places ...
