Diogo's video on "5 Para a Meia-Noite"

On Tuesday night, Rui Unas made his debut as one of the hosts of RTP's late night talk show, "5 Para a Meia-Noite."  Diogo sent Rui a video message to offer his good friend "encouragement" on his big night.  Our own good friend Dina, was once again kind enough to translate Diogo's message to Rui for us, which can be found right below the video.

Diogo is also featured in this week's "Lux" magazine, including some pictures from the filming of his TMN commercials.  (A translation as generously provided by Liliana can be found below its respective page of the article.)

On the 18th, Diogo Morgado will know if he is one of the nominees for the Emmy for Outstanding Leading Actor in a TV Miniseries. The handsome actor has his hands full. Besides commercials, he is shooting “Ambição,” the next series for SIC.

Diogo Morgado shoots TMN’s summer campaign at the beach, his favorite spot to be on vacation with family.

“Like any kid, my son loves the beach and the sea.”

The actor has been pre-nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor for his performance in the TV miniseries “The Bible.”

He is the star of the moment, and one of the most coveted actors in Portugal. Diogo Morgado was at the Malhão do Alentejo Beach, shooting TMN commercials, in which he gives life to a young a beach bar owner, which he has already been in real life. “I also had a beach bar at Costa da Caparica, so, there is much here that I recognize perfectly. I am very attached to some places and memories. People, moments that were lived in some place at some time. The background is what defines us, what truly marks us,” says Diogo Morgado.  
Coincidence or not, truth is that since the success of “The Bible," SIC's leading man has had a very busy professional agenda. The Portuguese “Jesus” is shooting “Ambição,” the next series from SIC, and still manages to spend time with family. His 3 year-old son, Santiago, is his major priority, and that’s why the weekends are totally dedicated to him. “Although I am shooting at a hectic pace, I still have some time to go to the beach. And, like any kid, my son loves the beach and the sea, ” he tells Lux.  
On the 18th, Diogo Morgado will know if he his one of the Emmy nominees for Outstanding Lead Actor for his role on “The Bible.” The pre-nomination was received with “huge pride and happiness,” but Diogo insists that if he is not one of the nominees, he won’t be disappointed.  “At the age of 15, I never thought I would be an actor, and, at 32, the last thing I would have thought was to be nominated for an Emmy. It's maybe a once in a lifetime thing. I am from that stubborn breed who continues to be proud of Portugal,” the actor reassures, and shows that the ambition to embrace an international career is not a priority.

Diogo on "5 Para Meia-Noite" - a Clip of the Day

(screencap of RTP video by me)

Today's "Clip of the Day" comes from 2009, when Diogo was a guest on RTP's late-night talk show, "5 Para Meia-Noite," ("5 to Midnight") this time with host Filomena Cautela.  Specifically, it's a clip from a segment they do on the show called "Hero or Villain" where the guest, in this case Diogo, is shown pictures of two people/things, and must say which is the hero, and which is the villain.  Our friend Lou da Gama was kind enough to translate this for us, and even though some of the choices are Portuguese references we may not know, it is still a fun clip that shows just what a good sport Diogo is with a great sense of humor.  You can find Lou's translation below the video.

Filomena: We have a game on the program that has been adapted and… ah… this is cool, this cool…
Diogo: Tell me… tell me… tell me.

New Pictures of Diogo from Revista Caras (Updated with New Picture)

Diogo was featured back in May in "Revista Caras," a Portuguese magazine. I have updated the post to include the new first picture below that they posted when they posted the article only today. The article/interview talks about his returning to Portugal to film the upcoming series "Ambição" after "The Bible."  No real "new" information, but it did contain some great new pictures of Diogo from when he was in Hollywood.

Diogo on "5 Para A Meia-Noite" in 2011

Today's "Clip of the Day" comes from "5 Para A Meia-Noite" ("5 to Midnight") -- a late-night talk show that airs nightly on network RTP, with a different host each night. 

On this particular visit Diogo made to "5 Para A Meia-Noite" in August of 2011, the host was Nilton -- a humorist, writer, and actor -- and judging from some of their tweets, Nilton is also someone Diogo respects and likes quite a bit. :)

Keep that in mind as you watch this rather "tongue in cheek" uh, "interview."  Which, by the way, the ever awesome Lou da Gama kindly translated for us, and can be found right below the clip.

"Nilton: It all comes down to two words. Ladies and gentlemen, with great honor… Diogo Morgado!

(Loud clapping)

Nilton: Are you going to enter again to see if it has the same impact?

Diogo: Yes.

(Louder clapping)
