Júlio Andrade, born October 8, 1976, in Porto Alegre—yeah, that’s down in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil—has been hustling in the acting scene for a good while now. The guy’s got this intense screen presence, honestly. You might’ve caught him in “Sob Pressão” (2017), where he dives deep into the chaotic world of a public hospital in Rio. Not your typical medical drama—this thing’s raw, gritty, messy, and, man, the stakes always feel real. Doctors constantly juggling lives while the system crumbles around them? It’s like a pressure cooker, and Júlio’s right in the thick of it, sweating bullets and making you feel every second. But that’s just one slice of his career. Flip back to 2012 with “Gonzaga: De Pai pra Filho.” Here, Andrade slips into a totally different skin—family drama, father-son struggles, music in the veins, all that jazz. It’s a biographical flick, but forget dry history lessons; this one’s got soul and heartbreak. You can see why folks remember it. Then there’s “1 Contra Todos” (2016). Corruption, crime, one man fighting the whole rotten system—think of those nail-biting suspense shows where you’re never sure who you can trust. Andrade brings this grit, this edge, like he’s been through the wringer, but he’s still standing, staring down trouble with that stubborn look. So yeah, the dude’s not just an actor—he directs too. Always chasing complex roles, not afraid to dig into the messier side of life. Whether he’s saving lives, fighting the system, or wrestling with family demons, Júlio keeps it real, keeps it raw.
referencennRavel Andrade’s brother? Yeah, that’s Rogier Schippers. You might’ve spotted him popping up in Dutch TV and film here and there. He’s not exactly a household name outside the Netherlands, but among fans of European cinema, the guy’s work gets noticed. He’s played everything from intense, brooding characters to the more offbeat comic relief types—pretty wild range, honestly. If you’re into the whole Dutch indie scene, his face will probably ring a bell. He and Ravel have crossed paths professionally, too, which is always fun for people who love spotting family connections in the industry. Rogier’s career isn’t all blockbuster action or red carpet glitz, but he’s carved out a niche with some memorable roles. It’s one of those “Oh, I know that guy!” situations when you catch him on screen. And if you dive into his filmography, you’ll stumble on a few hidden gems that might surprise you.
