Guile Branco

In 2007 he moved to Los Angeles to further focus on his acting career.

Used to be a competitive bodybuilder. He started bodybuilding when he was 15 years old and participated in his first competition at age 17. Later he became a bench press champion lifting close to 400 pounds and competed as a bodybuilder in both Sao Paulo, Brazil and New York City. In 2006 he ranked third place in the lightweight division at the NPC Eastern USA Championships held in Tribeca, NYC. In May 2008 he placed 3rd place in the lightweight division at the Muscle Beach Classic in Venice, California - his efforts leading up to that competition and the finals were filmed and are part of the documentary "Why We Train.".

Before he moved from Brazil to the United States in 2003 for life, he told his family and friends that he would be away for only two months.

Like so many immigrants before him, Brazilian Guile Branco sought a better life in America. But once he arrived in the U. S. , he discovered the hard realities of being a stranger in a strange land. Nevertheless, a stern dedication to succeed saw him through, and now Guile is living his American dream. Guile's story begins in Brazil, when he began taking acting classes and dreaming about moving to the United States to pursue a career in Hollywood. In the pursuit of his dreams, he dropped out of law school at eighteen and became a working actor soon after. He studied under Brazil's well known "Coffin Joe" Jose Mojica Marins, and his resume soon boasted soap opera appearances and countless theater performances. After visiting New York in 1998, Guile decided that his move to the U. S. could not wait any longer. Arriving in New York a few years later, with two hundred dollars in his pocket, he encountered all of the numerous obstacles that every actor knows very well. But he faced his problems, determined to build the life he wanted for himself. Eventually he was cast in several independent films and Off-Broadway plays.
