Lázaro Ramos

Lázaro Ramos, born in Salvador, Bahia, on November 1, 1978, is basically a powerhouse when it comes to Brazilian film and television. Seriously, the guy’s everywhere. He’s not just an actor—though, let’s be honest, he’s got serious chops—he’s also a director, and somehow manages to juggle it all while being married to Taís Araújo (since 2011, in case you’re keeping score). And yeah, they’ve got two kids, which just makes his whole “doing it all” thing even more impressive. Ramos first really blew up with “O Homem que Copiava” back in 2003, and if you haven’t seen it, you’re missing out. That was one of those roles that made everyone sit up and pay attention—he took the whole “everyman” vibe and made it into something way more layered. Then there’s “Executive Order” from 2020, a film that’s not just entertaining but actually dives deep into some heavy social commentary, which, let’s be real, Brazil’s needed for a while. Ramos directed that one too, proving he’s not just a pretty face on screen. He hasn’t shied away from TV either, with “Mister Brau” being a solid hit. The show’s got humor, it’s got heart, and it tackles race and identity head-on. Ramos brings this infectious energy to his roles, and you can tell he actually cares about what these stories mean. Basically, if Lázaro Ramos is involved, expect something bold, meaningful, and never boring.
