Dennis de Carvalho (September 27, 1947) is a Brazilian director, actor, and voice actor.[1][2][3]
Biography
[edit]First years
[edit]Born in the Mooca neighborhood of São Paulo, known for its large Italian immigrant population, Dennis is the son of Erasmo de Carvalho and Djanira Lucchesi, both born in Uberaba, in the interior of Minas Gerais.[1] On his mother's side, he is a descendant of Italian immigrants from Tuscany.[4]
Career
[edit]He was only eleven years old when he took his first audition at TV Paulista to participate in the soap opera Oliver Twist.[5] In 1964, he joined TV Tupi and participated in numerous telenovelas.[6] He was then hired by TV Globo, where he built a long career.[1][5]
As actor, worked in many soap operas like O Meu Pé de Laranja Lima,[7] Ídolo de Pano,[8] Pecado Capital,[9] O Casarão,[10] Brilhante,[11] Brega & Chique,[12] Vale Tudo,[13] História de Amor,[14] among others. He began directing soap operas and series with Sem Lenço, Sem Documento in 1977.[15] Among his work behind the camera, notable soap operas include Eu Prometo,[16] Corpo a Corpo,[17] Roda de Fogo,[18] Vale Tudo, Fera Ferida,[19] Explode Coração,[20] Celebridade,[21] and Paraíso Tropical[17], as well as miniseries such as Anos Rebeldes[22] and Dalva e Herivelto: Uma Canção de Amor,[23] and the series Malu Mulher,[24] Amizade Colorida,[25] and A Justiceira.[26] He was also one of the directors of the highly successful weekly comedy show Sai de Baixo.[27] He was responsible for directing the nine o'clock soap opera Insensato Coração, written by Gilberto Braga (his regular partner) and Ricardo Linhares.[28] In 2013, he directed the seven o'clock soap opera Sangue Bom by Maria Adelaide Amaral and Vincent Villari.[29]
He worked in voice acting, providing the voice of Roger "Race" Bannon in Jonny Quest, Corporal Rusty in Rin Tin Tin, Captain Kirk in Star Trek, and Jerry in The Time Tunnel in Brazilian versions.[30][31]
After 47 years, he was dismissed from Rede Globo in 2022.[32] In an interview with Veja magazine, he stated that "it is inevitable to feel some resentment" and that he felt it was "hasty" and "unfair."[33] He explained that "Ricardo Waddington, who was my assistant and learned a lot from me, called me into his office and said: 'We're not going to renew your contract, dear. We'd rather call you in for specific jobs, okay?' 'Okay,' I said, and left."[34]
In 2023, he directed the theater show Elis, a musical, about the life of Elis Regina, a play that had already been performed ten years earlier by the director.[35][36]
In 2025, she returned to Globo to direct a scene for the network's 60th anniversary special.[37] During the broadcast, she directed a comedy sketch featuring famous villains from Brazilian soap operas, including Adriana Esteves, Joana Fomm, Susana Vieira, Flávia Alessandra, Renata Sorrah, Glória Pires, Letícia Colin, Lília Cabral, and actor Cauã Reymond.[38][39]

Personal life
[edit]He was married to actress and politician Bete Mendes,[42] physical education teacher Maria Tereza Schimidt,[43] and actresses Christiane Torloni,[44] Monique Alves,[45] Tássia Camargo,[46] Ângela Figueiredo,[47] and Deborah Evelyn, to whom he was married for 24 years before separating in 2012.[48] He is the father of Leonardo Carvalho, an actor, his son with Christiane, Tainá, Monique's daughter, and Luísa, from his relationship with Deborah.[49] With her help, he overcame serious conflicts, such as the accidental death of his son Guilherme, Leonardo's twin, in 1991, and drug abuse, like cocaine.[50][51]
In 2010, actor Nilson Gomes recorded a video, posted on YouTube, in which he accuses the director of forcing him to take the "casting couch"[52] and maintain a relationship with him in exchange for a role in his next soap opera. Nilson lost the lawsuit for failing to provide evidence of his accusation.[53][54]
On December 26, 2022, Dennis Carvalho was admitted to Copa Star Hospital in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, after experiencing persistent fatigue initially attributed to stress.[55] Diagnosed with extensive pneumonia that progressed to septicemia (sepse), a severe systemic infection, his condition became critical, necessitating intensive care.[56][57] Carvalho was intubated and placed in an induced coma for approximately 20 days, during which he faced life-threatening complications, including pulmonary embolism and cardiac arrhythmia, requiring a pacemaker implantation.[58] Carvalho was discharged in late January 2023, after over a month of hospitalization, and began recovery at home, focusing on physiotherapy to regain muscle mass and adopting healthier habits, such as quitting smoking and alcohol.[59] Reflecting on the ordeal, he described it as a "second chance" at life, crediting his survival to skilled medical care.[59]
It belongs to Buddhism.[60][61]
