Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Augusto Aníbal de Almeida, better known simply as Augusto Aníbal (Rio de Janeiro, August 6, 1890 - Rio de Janeiro, June 12, 1965), was a Brazilian actor, playwright and singer. He was one of the best-known actors in Brazil in the 1920s and 1930s, considered one of the first successful Brazilian comedians. His name attracted so much attention that it was used in the title of the film "Augusto Aníbal Quer Casar", for advertising purposes. He made his film debut during the silent era, in the film "The Black Knight," by filmmaker Luiz de Barros, released in 1923, in which he played a farmer. The following year, he starred in and gave his name to the film "Augusto Aníbal Quer Casar," considered the first film to address the issue of transsexuality, also directed by Barros. He had a short career as a singer in 1930. In 1952, he appeared in his last film, "Once Upon a Time There Was a Vagabundo." He worked on TV Tupi from 1951 to 1953. He died in Rio de Janeiro on June 12, 1965, at the age of 74. (Wikipedia)
