His first television protagonist was in the soap opera O Profeta, on Globo, a remake of the soap opera of the same name, where he played Marcos, a young man with premonitory powers and strong ambition. This character was created by Ivani Ribeiro with another name: Daniel. With this character, he won in the "Best Actor" category at the 2007 Contigo Awards and also won in the "Romantic Couple" category. In 2007 he dubbed the Portuguese version of the character Linguini from the Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar animated film, Ratatouille.
