Description
Thiago Machado is a Brazilian actor, singer, and voice actor known for his work in theater and dubbing. Born Thiago Barbosa Machado on May 29, 1987, in São Paulo, he has built a career that spans musical theater and voice acting for film and television. His educational background includes a postgraduate degree in voice, a degree in performing arts, and formal music training.
Machado's career began in the world of musical theater, where he performed in numerous prestigious productions over more than a decade. His stage credits include playing Ramsés in Os Dez Mandamentos - O Musical, Bailey in Barnum – O Rei do Show, and roles in productions such as We Will Rock You, Rent, Mamma Mia!, and Rocky Horror Show. His performance in the musical Mudança de Hábito earned him a nomination for the 3° Prêmio Bibi Ferreira for Best Supporting Actor.
He transitioned into voice acting in 2015, initially through connections with colleagues who also worked in dubbing. He began his dubbing career at studios like Luminatta Studio and TV Group, where he worked on choruses and sang in animated series openings. His first notable role providing both speaking and singing voice for a character was Skye in the animated series Princesinha Sofia. He also provided the singing voice for Joshua "Josh" Chan in the first two seasons of the musical series Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
A significant milestone in his dubbing career was providing the Brazilian Portuguese voice for Jack, played by Lin-Manuel Miranda, in the live-action film O Retorno de Mary Poppins (Mary Poppins Returns). This role required both spoken dialogue and singing, and Machado has described it as a major learning experience in the craft of dubbing. His other film dubbing credits include Artie in Cruella, the singing voice of Don Juan Diego in Uma Invenção de Natal, and the singing voice of Gobi in A Caminho da Lua. He has also dubbed characters in animated series such as My Little Pony: Deixe sua Marca.
In the realm of anime and animation, Machado has contributed his voice to various projects. While the specific role of Grimm in the series Hero Mask is noted as an example of his work, information on this particular credit is not detailed in the available records. However, his broader anime voice work is documented, including the role of Yuto in the anime anthology series Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26. Other voice roles in animation include characters in video games, such as Spyro in the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, and in live-action series, such as Martin Stein in the Portuguese dub of DC's Legends of Tomorrow.
