Today is Rodrigo’s 33th Birthday, and we would like to wish him all the best!
Enjoy your day, Rodrigo!

According to “National Post”, Rodrigo is on the guests list of TIFF2008. The ten-days movie festival runs from Sept 04 to 13. He probably will be promoting “Che” since Benicio Del Toro is on the list, too.

Thanks to Regilene and Mary for the heads up.

Tonight was the special screening of “Os Desafinados” in Rio de Janeiro. I added some pictures, also pics of São Paulo press conference.

In “Os Desafinados”, film of Walter Lima Jr. that opens on this Friday, Joaquim, Rodrigo Santoro’s character, tries the artistic career in the United States. Any similarity with the actor’s history, that is doing his own international carrer, is just coincidence. “Joaquim went to the United States dreaming to do the career. I was to promote ‘Abril Despedaçado’ and ‘Bicho de Sete Cabeças’, maybe that has wakened up myself that will”, tell the actor in the press conference for the movie, today, in Rio de Janeiro.

“I think it was an unconscious dream that I had”, told Santoro, before doing other parallel with the character. “We are two adventurers”, he said, referring to Joaquim’s courage and of his own to try the life in North America.
