Just fresh from playing 13 characters in City Springs Theatre Company's production of Ragtime in Atlanta, Lalo will also be seen on the big screen this summer in Marvel's Thunderbolts* and The Naked Gun. Also catch him in the new seasons of Stranger Things and Peacemaker, coming later this year. Back home in Brazil, he appeared in productions of Grease and A Kate Me Quis, a showcase that mixed the stories of Kiss Me, Kate and Anything Goes. In NYC, he studied at The American Musical and Dramatic Academy, where he performed in showcases directed by Jim Elliott, Keith Andrews and Diane Ciesla, performing a selection of songs and scenes from shows Flying Over Sunset, Nine, Something Rotten!, The Inheritance and Farragut North. With VLOG, Lalo’s been a revolutionary trying to survive to see the day after that, a struggling actor who just wants a chance to let everyone know who he was, an artist trying to finish his hat, a peer who wants the trumpets to bray loudly, an old man going after his major award, and a grieving man who cannot get over the loss of his lover. But this time he’s taking on a different role. Ever since 2023 Lalo’s been responsible for designing all the graphic arts and advertisement for VLOG's productions, including Iolanthe, VLOG Does the Tonys 2, A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder, A Tale of Two Cities, The Baker's Wife and now A Little Night Music. After moving to Atlanta that same year, he couldn’t be more excited to continue his journey with VLOG all the way from the south.
