The Life of Ronald Golias
Ronald Golias was born in the city of São Carlos, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Before he became a star, he worked in different jobs. He was a tailor's helper and even an insurance agent.
Starting His Comedy Career
In the 1950s, a famous person named Manoel de Nóbrega noticed Golias's talent. He hired Golias to work as a comedian on both TV and radio shows. This was the start of his amazing career.
His first popular character was named "Pacífico." Pacífico was a funny, clever young man. He became famous for his catchphrase, "Ô Cride!'", which means "Hey, Cride!" "Cride" was a common nickname in Brazil.
From TV to Movies and Back
Pacífico was a big hit, and it helped Golias start a career in movies. He acted in ten films. When he returned to television, he brought his main movie character, "Bronco," with him.
Bronco became a huge TV success from 1967 to 1971 in a show called A Família Trapo ("The Trapo Family"). In this show, Bronco was the brother-in-law of a short-tempered Italian man. Bronco never had a job and lived off his brother-in-law. He was always ready to share his often funny and bold opinions. Bronco's character was very important for the show's humor.
In 1979, a Brazilian version of the American show Mork & Mindy was made. It was called Superbronco. Ronald Golias starred in it with actress Liza Vieira. Superbronco only had one season, but it was very popular and had high TV ratings.
