Nachtergaele, who is also a director, screenwriter and author, gained notoriety when he played the iconic character João Grilo in the film “O Auto da Compadecida” (2000), alongside the actor Selton Mello (Chicó). His career began at the Antunes Filho Theater Research Center and at the Teatro da Vertigem company, with the play “The Book of Job”, in 1995. His film debut was in the film “Anahy de las Misiones”, directed by Sérgio Silva.
At the last edition of the Gramado Film Festival, Nachtergaele was immortalized on the city’s Walk of Fame. In 2024, he will return to the role of João Grilo with “O Auto da Compadecida 2”, scheduled to premiere on December 25.
