Antônio Abujamra (15 September 1932 – 28 April 2015) was a Brazilian theatre and television director and actor. Having majored in journalism and philosophy at the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul in 1957, he started a career as a theatre critic while he directed and acted in his own plays at the university theatre. Professionally, he made his debut as a theatre director in 1961, and as an actor in 1987, acting in both theatre and television.[1] In 1989, he gained national fame for his role as Ravengar in Rede Globo's telenovela Que Rei Sou Eu?, which became his best known role.[2][3][4] In that same year, Abujamra won the Best Actor award at the Gramado Film Festival for his role in the film Festa.[5] From 2000 onward, he was the presenter on TV Cultura's interview program Provocações.[1] His son André Abujamra is a score composer, while his niece Clarisse Abujamra, is also an actress.
