Biography

Before beginning his voice acting career, he worked as a radio announcer on the long-running program Patrulha da Cidade at Rádio Tupi in Rio de Janeiro.[2][3]

He began his voice acting career on 15 March 1989, after being recommended by radio actress Cordélia Santos to Mário Monjardim for an audition. He was hired based solely on a voice test, without having taken any formal training.[1][3]

His first regular voice acting role in animation was replacing Márcio Simões in a character from COPS. His first leading role in a feature film was in A Mulher do Chefe, replacing Hélio Ribeiro, who was unavailable at the time. He is known for voicing characters in the Brazilian Portuguese versions of animated films, including Pumba in The Lion King, Shrek (replacing Bussunda), and James P. "Sulley" Sullivan in Monsters, Inc.[4] He is also well known for being the Brazilian voice of actors such as Geoffrey Rush, Forest Whitaker, John Goodman, Ruben Aguirre, Gary Oldman, Jean Reno,[5] Brendan Gleeson, Martin Sheen, Rip Torn, Kevin Pollak, Bob Hoskins, Ray Winstone, Gérard Depardieu, Kevin Dunn, Wayne Knight, Danny DeVito, and Keith David.

Other characters voiced by Mauro Ramos include Aku in Samurai Jack, Larry 3000 in Time Squad, Buzz Buzzard in The New Woody Woodpecker Show, Hector Con Carne in Evil Con Carne, and Husk in Hazbin Hotel, in addition to providing the Brazilian Portuguese voices for actors such as John Cleese, Jon Lovitz, Christopher Lloyd, among others.

He also provided the singing voice of Lumière, the candlestick, in the Brazilian Portuguese dub of Disney's classic Beauty and the Beast.

On television, he became known as the original voice of Quindim in Sítio do Pica-Pau Amarelo[6] and MC Iscavoka in TV Globinho on Rede Globo.
