Rodrigo Alcazar Faro (born 20 October 1973) is a Brazilian television presenter, actor and singer.
Career
He started his career at the age of 9 in 1982 when he participated in a milk commercial. As a child he was a model and presenter of the children's program ZYB Bom on TV Bandeirantes.
At 19, he integrated the boyband Dominó, before graduating in radio and TV by the University of São Paulo.{{cite web|url=http://gente.ig.com.br/rodrigofaro/#topoBiografia|title="Rodrigo Faro"|publisher=Gente IG|access-date=28 March 2014|language=pt}} In 1996 he starred his first telenovela, Antônio Alves, Taxista, on SBT.
In 2008, he moved to RecordTV to present Ídolos.[http://g1.globo.com/Noticias/PopArte/0,,MUL363396-7084,00-RODRIGO+FARO+APRESENTA+O+NOVO+IDOLOS.html Rodrigo Faro apresenta o novo 'Ídolos'] However, before making his debut in the musical reality, he was called to quickly replace presenter Márcio Garcia in O Melhor do Brasil.
Later in August he debuted as the presenter of Ídolos. Rodrigo stayed in charge of the program for four seasons, being succeeded by Marcos Mion in 2012.[https://web.archive.org/web/20140202191342/http://natelinha.ne10.uol.com.br/noticias/2012/05/18/marcos-mion-substitui-rodrigo-faro-no-comando-do-idolos-093055.php Marcos Mion substitui Rodrigo Faro no comando do "Ídolos"] In 2012 Rodrigo presented the Fazenda de Verão, also on RecordTV.[http://fazendadeverao.r7.com/2012/noticias/em-entrevista-exclusiva-rodrigo-faro-fala-sobre-a-experiencia-de-apresentar-a-fazenda-de-verao-20130130.html Em entrevista exclusiva, Rodrigo Faro fala sobre a experiência de apresentar a Fazenda de Verão]
In 2013, the presenter came to realize a dream; host a program on Sundays. O Melhor do Brasil left Saturday nights for Sunday afternoons to cover up the hole left by Gugu Liberato's program, which ended a week earlier than scheduled due to the Liberato's departure from Rede Record, and by program Tudo é Possível, when its last broadcast happened in December 2012. The program ended up having its name changed to Hora do Faro in 2014.[http://televisao.uol.com.br/noticias/redacao/2013/06/11/nao-posso-me-comparar-com-o-gugu-que-tem-40-anos-de-televisao-diz-rodrigo-faro.htm "Não posso me comparar com o Gugu que tem 40 anos de televisão", diz Rodrigo Faro]
O Melhor do Brasil won Faro the Troféu Imprensa for five consecutive years in the category "Best TV Presenter or Animator". On September 27, 2015, Rodrigo became the godfather of singer Felipe Araújo, brother of late sertanejo universitário singer Cristiano Araújo.[http://entretenimento.r7.com/famosos-e-tv/noticias/rodrigo-faro-ganha-quatro-trofeu-imprensa-consecutivo-20130425.html Rodrigo Faro ganha quarto Troféu Imprensa consecutivo][http://jovempan.uol.com.br/entretenimento/cultura/2013/04/lista-dos-vencedores-do-trofeu-imprensa-2013-e-divulgada-na-rede-confira.html Lista dos vencedores do "Troféu Imprensa 2013" é divulgada na rede; confira]
