Ronald Golias (São Carlos, May 4, 1929 â€" São Paulo, September 27,
2005) was a Brazilian comedian and actor.From the city of São Carlos,
in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, he started as a tailor assistant
and insurance agent, amongst other professions. But, during the 50s,
he impressed Manoel de Nóbrega, who hired him to work as a comedian,
both on TV and on the radio.His first character was named "PacÃfico",
a tongue-in-the-cheek young man, that made famous the catch phrase "Ã"
Cride!", Portuguese for "Hey, Cride!", being "Cride" a Brazilian
nickname, or misspell for the name Euclides. A big hit, it paved the
way for a cinema career, where he worked on ten movies. Back to
television, he brought with himself "Bronco", his main cinema
character, and became a big TV hit from 1967 to 1971 with A FamÃlia
Trapo ("The Trapo Family", a reference to the von Trapp family from
The Sound of Music). In this show, Bronco was the brother-in-law of an
Italian short-tempered man. Bronco never held a job and lived off his
brother-in-law, and he was never too intimidated to view his (often
provocative) opinions. His sister was a character played by Renata
Fronzi. Golias' character was the most important for the show's
"rhythm" and also the funniest character.
