Famous for Brazilian soap operas broadcast in Portugal, actors from here are welcome to work there
Next Monday, the 15th, the soap opera ‘Cacau’ will debut on the Portuguese channel TVI, with external scenes filmed in Bahia. The predominantly Portuguese cast has some Brazilian actors.
Christine Fernandes is among them. His last works on Globo were “Malhação: Toda Forma de Amar” and “Orgulho e Paixão”. On the album, “Reis”.
Based in Europe for 30 years, Eduardo Gaspar from Rio has guaranteed his presence in the new production. He was in series broadcast on Band, such as “Ouro Verde” and “Valor da Vida”.
Featured in the award-winning play ‘O Avesso da Pele’, Vitor Britto was chosen for his first job abroad. A rare feat for an artist who projects abroad without first appearing on a major television channel.
Another name for ‘Cacau’, Adriano Toloza is a veteran on Portuguese soil. He made soap operas and presented programs. In these parts he became famous with the character Igor in the two seasons of ‘Secret Truths’.
Several Brazilian artists have moved into the Portuguese television drama market. Airing in the repeat of ‘Paraíso Tropical’ in Globo afternoons, Marcello Antony appeared in the series ‘Morangos com Açúcar’ in 2023.
Thiago Rodrigues has three soap operas on TVI. Luana Piovani has participated in series, soap operas and the Portuguese version of ‘The Masked Singer’.
Zezé Motta, Silvia Pfeiffer, Úrsula Corona, Tássia Camargo and Carolina Kasting have also worked on the other side of the ocean.
Numerous advantages attract Brazilian actors to Portugal. Starting from the enriching experience of working in another country. Living more safely is also a benefit.
Earning in euros matters a lot. The coin is worth almost six times more than the real thing. An actor in a leading role can receive 4,000 to 6,000 per month (R$21,000 to R$32,000).
Over the last two decades, Portuguese fiction has grown significantly in terms of creativity and quality of production. Things are not bad for Brazilian productions broadcast on the SIC channel, Globo’s partner.
While there is talk of xenophobia against anonymous immigrants, the television market opens up to famous Brazilians.
