Genisson Fabrício Boliveira Pereira, known professionally as Fabrício Boliveira, is a Brazilian actor born on April 26, 1982, in Salvador.
Growing up in a middle-class family, Fabrício was exposed to theater from a young age, with his mother also being involved in the performing arts.
As a child, Fabrício befriended a well-known literature professor, Rafael Mendes, who would later write plays performed by his friend.
Fabrício attended a 2-year theater course at Solar Boa Vista in Salvador and, while still studying, participated in a film festival, acting, writing, and directing.
His first professional work was in the 2002 production of "Capitães da Areia," a play by Jorge Amado, where he played João Grande, the second-in-command of a street gang led by Pedro Bala.
The play was seen by around 40,000 people over two seasons in Salvador and on tours throughout the state and other states, providing a fertile ground for Fabrício's early career.
In addition to "Capitães da Areia," Fabrício appeared in plays such as "A Invasão" (2004),"A Farsa da Boa Preguiça" (2004),"Cinderela Black Power," and "Antonio, Meu Santo."
In film, Fabrício participated in several short films and the feature-length "A Máquina" by João Falcão.
Fabrício's television debut was in 2006 with the role of the slave Bastião in "Sinha Moça," which earned him the Prêmio Contigo award for best newcomer in 2007.
