Mario Marino also known as Ted Boy Marino (October 18, 1939 â€"
September 27, 2012) was an Italian Brazilian wrestler, fighter and
actor.Ted Boy Marino was born in Fuscaldo Marina in the Italian
province of Cosenza, in Calabria. He went to Buenos Aires in 1953, in
the basement of a ship with his parents and 5 more siblings. There, he
worked as a shoemaker, but took advantage of the free time to train
wrestling and practice weightlifting. In 1962 he was already
participating in television programs such as Telecatch in Buenos Aires
channels 9 and 12 Montevideo.In 1965, Marino came to Brazil. Shortly
thereafter, he was hired as a Telecatch fighter by TV Excelsior, which
was a great success. In wrestling rings, alongside fighters like
"Tigre Paraguaio", Electra, or Alex, among others, he defeated
villains such as Aquiles, Verdugo, Rasputim Barba Vermelha, El
Chasques and Múmia.Around this time he also participated in the
program "Os Adoráveis Trapalhões" (The Adorable Clumsies) for the
same TV Excelsior. The station's executives ordered the station
director Wilton Franco to do a show with Ted Boy and the singer
Wanderley Cardoso, an youth idol. However, Wilton needed someone to
fill in the text and chose the singer Ivon Cury and the actor Renato
Aragão, to make the audience laugh. Hence arose the quartet, whose
program reached between 50 and 60 points IBOPE. In 1968 Aragão and
Ted Boy Marino starred in the film Dois na Lona (Two in the Ring),
where Ted lives a fighter who disputes the national championship and
in the faces Lobo (played by Roberto Guilherme, who today works in the
programs of Aragão, generally with the role of Sargento Pincel -
Sargeant Paintbrush).
