Fábio currently stars in the feature “Kali – O Anjo Vingador”, available on Amazon Prime Video, with a pivotal, high-intensity performance. He is also part of the cast of “Jogo de Xadrez”, directed by Luiz Antônio Pereira, reinforcing his presence in contemporary Brazilian cinema.
On television, he enjoys a key moment with “Arcanjo Renegado”, a Globoplay original series. His character Gilson officially joins the plot in season two and steadily gains importance, becoming one of the highlights of the fourth season now on air.
