Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro is one of today's leading young talent in his own country, and he's also looking his own space in Holywood. His film credits include the Frank Miller version for "300", "Love, Actually", "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" and also a participation in 3rd season of greatest hit Lost.
You're currently viewing the 6th version of the first and only online resource dedicated to support this awesome actor. Here you'll find an extensive image gallery, a video archive always growing, and up-to-date information regarding everything on his career. I hope you enjoy your stay. - Luciana, your webmistress
Our 2nd batch from today, is one of my favorite movies at all. “A Dona da História” (Her way) tell us the history of Carolina, a 50 year-old woman who analyses her past. Then she pictures herself when she was 20 years old and she re-creates the story of her life. It’s a great history with an awesome work of Marieta Severo, Debora Falabella, and Rodrigo Santoro as the young Luiz Claudio. Adorable!
Finally I got some time to make screencaptures to our gallery. The first movie is “Não Por Acaso” (Not By Chance), movie that was showed in last San Francisco festival.
Not by Chance tells the story of two control-obsessed characters: Enio, a supervisor at a traffic control centre, and Pedro, a snooker player who seeks absolute mastery of his technique. Both find fulfillment in life by submerging themselves in a mathematical mindset that leads them towards the feeling of control they long for. But all this is thrown to the wind one day when both Pedro’s wife and Enio’s ex-wife die in a car accident. Descending into the jagged world of his obsessive mind, Pedro despairs until he meets Lucia, a young woman with whom, in a parallel to his snooker techniques, he tries to re-live the same exact moments he once lived with his wife. Enio, on the other hand, is forced to confront his loss through the mysterious appearance of his unknown daughter, who forces a clumsy relationship with him by deciding to look after him. Eventually, however, the two men must decide between their own obsessions and the new opportunities life has given them.
If you see Not by Chance with several friends, like we did, it is very likely that everyone is going to walk away with a very different take on the film. Maybe that’s in part because some of us are more smitten with Rodrigo Santoro than others (you may remember him from 300, Love Actually, Carandiru, and even several episodes of Lost, among others).
The film, set in Sao Paulo, is Philippe Barcinksi’s debut feature. If you don’t go expecting to see another City of God or Amores Perros (or even Favela Rising or Twelve Labors from past festivals), you’re much less likely to be disappointed. A couple of our friends were disappointed by what they felt was a sluggish pace, and commented that they thought Not by Chance could have been condensed into about 30 minutes tops, but we didn’t really agree. Did we mention Santoro is hot?

Rodrigo to play Jim’s lover
Source: The Hollywood Reporter
Jim Carrey may love Ewan McGregor, but Rodrigo Santoro loves Jim Carrey.
Don’t worry, folks – Empire hasn’t descended to the gutter level of a gossip column. Instead, we’re merely reporting that Rodrigo Santoro – the Brazilian actor best known for playing Xerxes in 300 – has signed on to the currently-shooting dark comedy, I Love You, Phillip Morris, which stars Carrey as a married man sent to prison, and McGregor as the inmate with whom Carrey falls in love.
And to complicate matters even further, Santoro will play Carrey’s lover. With Leslie Mann on board as Carrey’s wife, this is one great big heap of love crazy!
It’s not clear at this point whether Santoro is playing a prison-bound Carrey conquest, or whether he’s out on the outside. But we do know that Carrey’s character’s love for McGregor’s title character leads him to make several escape attempts (indicating that Phillip Morris gets released at some point), so anything’s possible.
The movie is being directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, the guys who wrote the brilliant Bad Santa, so the prospects look good for I Love You, Phillip Morris.
Don’t forget to check our gallery, I’m finding new pictures from the movie set and always posting it without announcing here in the main page.
Finally we have our first pictures of Rodrigo on set of “I Love You Phillip Morris“.
These are the first pictures of a very camp-looking Carrey in character for his role in prison break comedy I Love You Phillip Morris.
Dressed in a tight black T-shirt, white jeans, a huge gold lion’s head buckle on his belt, and a liberal helping of fake tan, comedy star Carrey is almost unrecognisable.
Carrey is seen here during filming getting to grips with actor Rodrigo Santoro, with his hand on his co-stars behind.(…)
McGregor & Carrey’s Gay-tini Night: Jim Carrey, Ewan McGregor and “Lost” Rodrigo Santoro were spotted at Edison Farrow’s Martini Tuesdays party, at Halo, a South Beach gay bar in Florida, The Miami Herald reports. They reportedly drank champagne (Carrey had water), while doing research for their upcoming film, “I Love You Philip Morris,” about a married father who ends up in prison and falls in love with his cellmate. “Jim’s character is a con artist and an escape artist, who escapes from prison to be with me. It’s an incredible story,” Ewan told the paper. It’s likely no “Brokeback,” but then again, hopefully, it’s no “Boat Trip”!
Finally something new!
Yesterday was the LA premiere for the David Mammeth’s “Redbelt”. Rodrigo attented the event, and I found some pictures.
And during my searches, I found 2 cuties candids images from last year. Enjoy!
Now it’s official. Rodrigo did an interview to “O Dia” newspaper and confirmed the end of his 4 years relationship with Ellen Jabour.
He said the reason was the distance, since he’s working so much out of Brazil (he’s currently filming “The PostGrad Survival Guide” and Ellen had some works in her country.
