I did a part in Sense8, an American series, I worked with Lana Wachowski. I did three seasons of 3% where I was the antagonist. And then I came across Só Se For Por Amor, in which my character is smaller, but I don’t believe that a small character exists. When I read about him, I said: ‘This is his importance’, talking to the heteronormative and mostly sexist audience, obviously without generalizing, about a deep Brazil, which hides behind prejudice, a character that freely is who he is within this environment, and more: he is respected for who he is. Its dramaturgical and social function is immense. So there is no small character”, he analyzes.
