Humberto Carrão, 31, gave a taste of his characterization as Caco Barcellos, 72, for the series “Rota 66 – A Polícia que Mata”, which he is recording for Globoplay. The actor posted a photo on social media in which his face appears next to that of the journalist.
“Me and Caco on the monitor,” he wrote in the caption. “Photo of our producer Gustavo Gomes de Mello on one of the most special days of our work. Not long!”
The series, which is scheduled to premiere on the 22nd, is based on the homonymous book written by the presenter of Profissão Repórter (Globo). The work, which won the Jabuti Prize in 1993, investigates an “official death squad” in São Paulo.
Carrão will play a fictionalized version of the reporter. He will start by investigating the murder of three young men until he comes across a group of killers that operate with the apparent approval of the Military Police. “The more he investigates, the more the journalist discovers innocent victims on the outskirts of the city where, far from the spotlight, excessive violence is committed against black and poor youth,” reads the synopsis.
In addition to him, names such as Lara Tremouroux, Juan Queiroz, Adriano Garib, Rômulo Braga, Gabriel Godoy, Ricardo Gelli, Ailton Graça, Wesley Guimarães, Rafael Lozano, Naruna Costa, Felipe Oládélè, Ariclenes Barroso, Virgínia Rosa, Magali Biff, Ivy Souza, Bruno Vinícius, Gabriel Wiedemann, Edu Guimarães, Nizo Neto and Maria Manoella.
