Vinícius de Oliveira is a Brazilian actor born in Rio de Janeiro on June 7, 1985. He was brought up in a Favela (Brazilian slum) where his mom had to work hard to support him and his three siblings. To make the ends meet, he even started working as a shoe shiner, always dreaming of becoming a professional soccer player. Nevertheless, his life radically changed when, while shining shoes, he was discovered by director Walter Salles and cast to play the role of Josué in the acclaimed film Central do Brasil. Thanks to Salles' support Vinícius is now able to take both English and theater lessons. In addition to his groundbreaking role, he has also participated in several other projects such as the soap opera Suave Veneno TV Globo.
