Actors of Brazilian TV series and their roles (photo)

There is hardly a person who does not remember how the Brazilian soap operas occupied the Russian screen at the end of the last century and also moved to the beginning of the new one. Then, due to the inability to compete with a distant southern country, the First Channel began to massively buy up Brazilian serials. The actors of the Brazilian TV series wandered from project to project and in a few years turned into recognizable stars of the Russian audience. How not to get lost in the endless list of their names?

A long road to success

The story begins with the largest television corporation Globo (Globo), founded in 1925. All her creative work turned into a conveyer production of soap operas. No other country can boast of such successes in this direction. The company produced an unlimited number of serials, and almost all of them were exported to more than 50 countries.

For Brazil, the production of long-playing pictures is a common thing. This is a good business and a strong support to the economy. "Globa" rightfully takes the lead among the film companies, although it can not seriously compete with the leading Hollywood studios. Like its western counterparts, a specially constructed city named "Prozhak" became the main decoration, where all projects are filmed.

During the production of telenovel, which lasted more than one decade, a lot of real artists came out of the beginning stars. The brightest actors of the Brazilian series (photo attached) will be the heroes of this article.

Face of Brazilian TV series

Followed in the footsteps of her father-actor, Gloria Pires began to withdraw from five years. Having matured and having given birth to the first child, daughter Cleo, Pires tries himself in telenovelas. The first work is the series "Everything is allowed" in 1988. However, the real glory brought "The Secret of the Tropic". According to the actress, she for a long time did not want to agree to a role. The shooting took eight months, and all this time, her second, just-born daughter spent next to her on the court. The roles of twins Ruth and Raquel were hard given to Gloria, but she coped with the task assigned to show them the opposite. In this she was helped by a voice, the different intonations of which she used when entering the images of sisters.

Pires, marked by the highest awards of the film industry, was unanimously proclaimed the best actress of television. No other actors of the Brazilian series could boast of such. In subsequent years, Gloria was shot exclusively in the lead roles. In the series "Gentle Poison" she again played the dual role of Ines and Lavinia. The most famous series with the participation of the actress are: "Fatal inheritance", "Cruel Angel", "Belissima."

Veterans-actors of the Brazilian serials

Since the mid-90s, when the production of soap operas was especially developed, one or two projects a year. The most eminent artists of Brazil, who had already won recognition before that, were in the TV series-industry. A vivid example of such stars are:

- Suzana Vieira. Born in the family of diplomats in 1942. She was married three times. Career began at the age of 20. In total, she appeared in more than 50 serials. Predominantly performs the role of mothers, especially concerned about the happiness of their children. Often images have a negative connotation.

He got to television in 1972, three years later signed an open-ended contract with Globa for participation in classic TV series. Among the most famous are the novels "The Fatal Inheritance", "In the Name of Love", "Land of Love". Antonio as a bright representative of the environment of the actors of his line deservedly takes place in the list of "Best Brazilian actors of serials."

In the novels of this country, many other veterans of the Brazilian screen appeared. They, born in the 30's, were pioneers of the new television genre. And, unfortunately, some of them have already passed away. The dead Brazilian actors of the series are such stars as Nilda Parente ("Tropical Paradise", "Easy Money", "Mistress of Destiny"), Italo Rossi (Mandrake, Mistress of Destiny, Belissima), Fernando Lobo (" Dream Beach "," Snakes and Lizards "," Uga Uga "), Adriano Reis (" The Secret of the Tropic "), Sergio Britto (" Shikinya Gonzaga ").

Dear young people!

By the end of the 90's a whole galaxy of bright talented stars, who had just gained their popularity. All of them expected to repeat the success of their mature idols, and therefore gladly agreed to appear in novels. Which Brazilian actors of the series of the younger generation were remembered especially?

- Vivian Pazhmanter. Was born in 1971. In her childhood she was fond of architecture and television. Acquaintance of her mother with screenwriter Manuel Carlos allowed Vivian to get a role in his first series "Happiness". Then she played the villain Deborah and from this moment prefers such a role. The image of the eccentric Malu from the "Secret of the Tropic" considers her best work, but the audience was remembered by the actress for the role of Lara's divorcee from "In the Name of Love." In 1996 he composed a screen couple Gustavo Bermudez in the Argentine series "Alain, the light of the moon."

The show was shown in 30 countries around the world, including Russia. Another notable role (prostitute Kapitu) was played by the actress earlier, in the series "Family Ties".

- Antonelli's partner in "Clone" Muril Benissio also woke up famous after the release of this series. In it, he played three roles at once. The love peripeteias of the characters Murila and Giovanna spilled outside the film set - with the end of the project the couple announced the novel.

- Marcio Garcia first felt the taste of Brazilian TV series with the release of his first picture, "Tropicanka". At that time the novice actor turned 24 years old. Since that time, Garcia has become an integral part of subsequent telenovelas. In addition to being a family man raising three children, the actor conducts a talk show on television.

Recognized sex symbol

Reinaldo Janekini did not think that after the debut in "Family ties" he would become not just a popular favorite. The status of the first handsome country and the conqueror of women's hearts instantly brought him to the podium of popularity, offering the role of Tony's laborers in the "Land of Love, Land of Hope." However, critics did not hurry to cherish another "upstart" and only in 2005, with the release of the series "Belissima," noted his acting ability. For several years the actor has decorated the covers of glossy editions. Having a sports figure, he happily demonstrates his pumped-up torso.

Brazilian fugitive

If Rodrigo Santoro did not act in soap operas, we would never have seen him in a large-scale action "300 Spartans". Yes, it is about this historical fantasy with Gerard Butler in question! Of all the young talents, Rodrigo, perhaps, is the only one who has tried himself in a variety of genres. Including the image of a transsexual and a prostitute from the picture "Karandiru". Looking ahead, we must admit: no other, even the most popular actors of the Brazilian series, will not be compared to Santoro in success.

The first recognition as a star of Brazilian telenovela happened with the release of "Tender Poison", where the character Rodrigo simultaneously twisted novels with his mother and daughter. The second part of "Charlie's Angels" invited the star to Hollywood, in which he decided to stay. There followed the paintings "Real Love", "I Love You, Philip Maurice", "What to Expect When You're Expecting a Child". In between, Santoro managed to star in the series "Stay Alive" and voice one of the heroes of the cartoon "Rio". His love for his native city, he will express in the melodrama of 2014 "Rio, I love you."
