Bio

I'm a Brazil born, Switzerland raised and England trained screen actor.

Growing up I participated in the odd school play - and the lead in an original musical in high school - but going down the acting route never seemed like a viable option to me. Actors seemed like these outlandish and mythical figures that only existed in some parallel universe...

That's until I rekindled my love for acting when I participated in a political satire play in Switzerland in 2016. That rekindling sparked such a big flame that I decided to take a leap of faith and succesfully apply to an acting school in London.

After two years of dedicated training at the International School of Screen Acting (ISSA) I graduated at BAFTA in July 2018.

Since then I've worked in various independent short films, got cast for bit parts in two big Hollywood productions and I am currently in the process of co-producing a web series in which I will also act in.

Amazon's The People We Hate At The Wedding is here and I couldn't be more excited!

I had an absolute blast on my very brief time on set and still think of it fondly. It's pretty surreal knowing that I am in the same movie as all these incredible actors.

Huge thanks to Theo Park for casting me as Dallas and all the love to Deb at Nylander*Shaw for representing me in this uncertain industry!

Five days out of twelve in the can.
And how intense those days have been, phew! Mentally drained, physically exhausted but couldn't be any happier right now...especially after receiving some stills from the shoot so far. Now, I'm off to enjoy a more than welcome day off lying in bed watching Jim Jarmusch's The Dead Don't Die.

Thrilled to announce that filming for my first role in a feature film has officially begun!
I feel extremely grateful for being able to collaborate with Nicole Favarelli (Vakuum, The Boogeyman) once again.

The film can be watched on Vimeo - & the exclusive Q&A panel is embedded below.

Thank you to Matt Beurois and the PAMA-HAMA team, our lovely agent/producer Deborah Shaw, our one and only director Joe Withers, the technical team that made this happen behind the scenes and of course, my beautiful and crazy talented fellow actors (and writers) Alice Torriani, Matilda Kime, Ivo Arakov, Gian Marco Tavani and Andreas G. Hansen.

Here's to more successful projects and hopefully we'll actually get to see each other outside of the confines of a screen.
