Biography and career

Mayer was born in Jaguaraçu, Minas Gerais, and made his debut on television in 1979 in an episode of Carga Pesada. In 1983, for his performances in Bandidos da Falange and Guerra dos Sexos, he won the APCA Award for Best Newcomer Actor. He became notorious by his main role in the television adaptation of O Pagador de Promessas.[1] Most known for his roles as a leading man in telenovelas,[1][2] he also acted in several films, including Perfume de Gardênia, for which he won the Best Actor Award at the 25th Festival de Brasília.[3]

In April 2017, Mayer was suspended of working with TV Globo after the wardrobe artist Susllen Tomani accused the actor of having sexually harassed her.[4] Tomani related the incident to the newspaper Folha de S.Paulo. Mayer denied the accusation.[5]
