Angolan/Portuguese actor. Started his career in Portugal doing comedies after winning a popular reality show contest.

Awarded Best Actor in a Supporting role at the 2011 Africa Movie Academy Awards for a performance in Congolese crime-drama Viva Riva.

Very good at helping actors get the best at their performances. Detail oriented.

Easy going, multilingual, holds a EU passport and a US green card. Loves music (jazz in particular) and traveling. Learning to play the saxophone. Decent cook (nobody died from my cooking so far - I wouldn't tell if they did anyway). Great freestyle dancer. Can be quite intense sometimes. Laughs at his own jokes, most of it no one else gets. Has the greatest laughter in the galaxy. Spiritual and in good physical shape. Ah, father of two beautiful boys, 19 and 9 (my kids feel embarrassed when I laugh in public). Started directing. My debut short film, A Lisbon Affair, has been touring some cool film festivals and was nominated at the Africa Movie Academy Awards and the Sophia Awards, the Portuguese equivalent of the Oscars.
