There are people who are for a role, that protagonist of such a leader novel audience, the mythical film that crossed generations, the incredible staging that filled the same room for a year. Try to do it with Nicholas Breyner is beyond risky offensive. The actor who was one of the largest, central part of the Portuguese fiction, died yesterday, a heart attack. He was found at home after not having attended school NB Academy, school of actors who recently opened. It was also the record “La impostora” the next novel TVI, which has not yet opened. I was 75 years old.
The new chapters of “Forbidden Gardens” and “The Scorpion’s Kiss” were his last work in television. Theater did “The Cats do not have Vertigo,” the friend Antonio Pedro Vasconcelos. Before that he had also participated in “Night Train to Lisbon” by Bille August, an international production that had Jeremy Irons as the protagonist, adapted from the homonymous book of the Swiss Pascal Mercier.
It was July 30, 1940, in Serpa, who was born João Nicolau de Melo Breyner Lopes. Son of farm owners, Alentejo seemed to be small – perhaps barren – for his talent. He moved to Lisbon with the parents of Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen, who was a cousin. It was in the Camoes Liceu who served much of his education, something that would take him to the Faculty of Law of Lisbon, chasing the desire to have diplomacy as the main occupation. But the law was something short, having abdicated the course to come to enroll at the Conservatory. After a while only changed the walls: the corner – art that was favored for a long time and has even come to join the chorus of Portuguese Musical Youth – went to the theater, and the desire to be a singer must have smoky somewhere there.
Either that or participation in “Leonor Telles,” part of Marcelino Mesquita, staged by the Riverside Theatre National Populaire, today Trindade Theatre, with which he made his debut in the interpretation. We were in April 1960. A year before his debut in cinema with “Race” by Augusto Fraga. Whether it was through the theater door Nicholas Breyner entered the art world was not the same that would have its place in the sun. Despite having been successful in some comedies alongside Laura Alves, it was in film and television Nico, as he is known by his friends, became an actor. Hence is it that has made only in the 60s, when it launched on the big screen 13 films.
In television was Pasquale in “The Adventures of Pasquale” for the RTP in 1966, small series without great credit in his career. The real adventure in this format would start in the post-Revolution in 1975, when he conceived the program “Nicholas in Wonderland.” Never national comedy would be the same, that with Breyner rock in fiction began here. Essentially the item “Mr. Happy, Mr. Contente” which brought Herman Joseph to close the spotlight, with only 21 years. These two gentlemen were so successful that won to the right to own space, having presented this concept for several northern rooms south of the country, all want to hear: “Tell us, tell us, how will this country?” <. /> p>
And the country walking there was, as always will, as was also going Breyner in decades of growth that led to the assortment of characters in sketches way, as in “I Show Nico”, 1980. Also during the 80s the actor not to, to the point of being the steward Horace in “Gente Fina’s Another Thing” 1982 series of humor which is one of the co-authors – the socks with César de Oliveira and Mario Zambujal – and whose protagonist was this genius of the theater Portuguese Amélia Rey Colaço. Another credit impossible to steal is the same year. It was in 1982 that “Vila Faia”, the first Portuguese soap opera, won color. And if there is blame to mention one of them is Nicholas Breyner, which together with Francis Nicholson, was one of the project’s creators, and therefore largely responsible for the bet on the telenovela format in Portugal. Otherwise would not have created the NBP, Nicholas Breyner Productions, current embryo Plural Entertainment, where he was everything:. Director, producer, director and actor
After this dub him acting just became unworthy. It was a real creative, but never gave up what seemed to give you more enjoyment: interpret. Accumulated stakes in series and novels, as well as in films, even making a little leg as host, especially in the 90s, having also been one of the presenters of the RTP Song Contest 1994. He won three Golden Globes for Best Actor for “The Immortals “(António Pedro Vasconcelos, 2003),” Kiss Me “(António da Cunha Telles, 2004) and” the Miracle According to Salomé “(Mário Barroso, 2004).
There is another occupation that is required to assign to him, director of actors. Formed so many and so diverse that it is natural, almost mandatory, many of the reactions to his death are actors by themselves taught. And virtually every claim that was an extremely generous man. “There are directors of actors who do not even know what they want. I say what I want and then give them freedom to create. I often tell my representation of students ‘surprise me, even if it is a big shit, but do something different’, “said the” SOL “in 2012
.
On a personal level was adored by peers. Nicholas Breyner was an emergency, unconditional friend always willing to listen, to give his advice, even though it was the middle of a take or break for lunch, according to reports of numerous colleagues. In 2009 he was diagnosed with prostate cancer who would win. It was also deeply Catholic, so that before starting to record large productions passed the Star Basilica to make his prayer, something that was not an impediment to be every Sunday, without exception, at Mass. Portuguese yolk and therefore Benfica. He married five times and had two daughters Claudia Ramos Fidalgo. life interviews The accumulated in recent years, as old age harbinger. It was one of them, in the “High Definition”, in SIC, which mirrored their lack of fear of death: “The day I die, contrary to what we have with that expression ‘when I die the world will stop’ , will not stop shit. Nothing to. The world turns, shops open, people laugh, people cry, people are born. All this on the day I die, so it is not important for sure. ” If you allow us, we prefer to disagree.
