Antônio de Carvalho Barbosa (born August 25, 1948), best known by the
artistic name Tony Ramos, is a Brazilian actor.Ramos has played
leading roles in major telenovela productions for more than four
decades. Many of his most famous roles share the characteristics of
honesty and morality. Many of Ramos' more recent starring roles in
novelas have cast him playing non-Brazilians, including the Greek
Nikos (BelÃssima), the American Percival Farquhar (Mad Maria), the
Indian Opash (Caminho das à ndias), and the Italian Antonio Mattoli
(Passione). Ramos is fluent in English, French and Spanish, and has
some knowledge of Italian. Ramos' acting process does not involve
internalizing the character's emotions; instead, he creates his
characters using external technique.Ramos was born in Arapongas,
Paraná, the son of Maria Antonia Barbosa, a teacher. He spent his
youth in the city of Avaré, in the country side of the Brazilian
state São Paulo. Since he was a child, he expressed interest in
acting and theater, drawing inspiration from Oscarito's films. Already
in São Paulo, he made amateur theater while participating in the
Teatro Cultura de São Paulo, where he staged plays for children. He
holds a degree in Philosophy from the Pontifical Catholic University
of São Paulo.Ramos is one of the most important actors in Brazil,
especially known for his work in telenovelas. His use of an Anglicized
first name was common at the time he began his acting career, and the
name Ramos is the last name of a relative. Ramos was born in the
country side of Paraná and spent his youth in Ourinhos in the country
side of the state of São Paulo. As a boy, he dreamed of being an
actor. When young Ramos watched the films of Oscarito (a Brazilian
film comedian who made dozens of films in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s),
he wanted to be like him. Later, while living in São Paulo, he
performed in amateur theater with the Teatro Cultura ArtÃstica de
São Paulo (Theater of Artistic Culture of São Paulo). At 16 years
old, he was part of the musical team “Tony e Tom & Jerry†that
made an appearance on the TV show Jovem Guarda (Young Guard).
