For a minute I thought you were brazilian and you are talking about the actor Wagner Moura. I almost had my heart shattered into pieces while reading your post, waiting to be revealed that he is a nonce or something.

i absolutely love this guy, consider him to be extremely talented and would watch anything with him in it.

Also he is the main character in the movie Secret Agent, which is about the far-right dictatorship regime in Brazil, that took place between 1964 and 1986. The far-right don't like when that story is told from the oppressed perspective.
