Dsince it was revealed who were chosen to give life to Jorginho and Rita in the Portuguese version of the novel “Avenida Brasil”, SIC released the name of the actor who will interpret the iconic Tufão – to whom the brazilian actor Murilo Benício gave life.
“We have Typhoon”, announced the channel on social networks, revealing that Ricardo Pereira is the chosen one.
“Ricardo Pereira is returning to Portugal to bring to life one of the most emblematic characters of “Avenida Portugal”, reads in the sharing that announces the novelty.
“ With more than 25 years of career between Portugal and Brazil, the actor now takes on this new challenge in a story that we all know and that wins a very good version of us.
Welcome, Ricardo! We are ready to meet your Typhoon.”

José Contessa will be one of the bets of channel three for “Avenida Portugal”. The actor traded TVI for SIC to bring life to Jorginho – who in the Brazilian version of the novel was played by Cauã Reymond.
Nina or Rita, another of the main characters of “Avenida Brasil”, is also one of the roles that is delivered. SIC bet Laura Dutra on this character.
