Diogo on "Alta Definição"

Diogo was on SIC's "Alta Definição" ("High Definition") yesterday with host, Daniel Oliveira.  Once again, Dina is our hero and sent us the video and translation of this candid interview, of which Diogo himself said on Facebook: "The truth is that I don't remember what I said, what was asked, or what we talked about.  The truth is that it doesn't matter... The truth is that it was true and with an open heart.  I hope you like it..."  

Don't think there's ANY chance of not loving it, but see for yourself, below, followed by the translation.  Obrigada Dina!

Sold!!!

So it seems there is no medium Diogo hasn't done, and done well, to boot.... obviously, with "The Bible" he mastered the miniseries... but we've also seen him excel at modeling, and we've seen him shine in theater.

He's does too many TV series to mention here, but they include an Emmy award winning drama AND sketch comedy.

He's done movies too -- from short films to a full-length bio pic as the former president of Portugal.    And let's not forget his work as a filmmaker behind the scenes.  Diogo even provided the voice of a character for a "Harry Potter" video game.  

But for today's "Clip of the Day," I wanted to share something else Diogo has done... commercials.  Specifically, two commercials he did for two very different products.... technology and cat food.  :)

First up, here's a commercial he did with Daniel Olivera (from "Alta Definição") for "ZON Fibra" (an internet/cable provider.)  Even without a translation, I bet some of you will still being saying, "where do I sign up?" :)

Diogo in "High Definition" (2009)

Today's "Clip of the Day" comes from October 2009, when Diogo was on the SIC network entertainment program, "Alta Definição" ("High Definition.")  According to the "Alta Definição"website, the weekly show, which is conducted by Daniel Oliveira, is "an intimate approach to a central guest. Filmed in High Definition, at a special location chosen by the interviewee, each episode is intended as a biographical portrait of the guest, who is challenged to appear without makeup, in their purest essence."

Diogo's appearance on "Alta Definição" is posted in two parts/videos below.  Awesome Portuguese fan and friend Sara Ferreira was kind enough to translate both parts for us, which you can find below each clip.  Oh and one quick note about this interview -- please keep in mind as you watch it that this is from 2009, right when Diogo was cast as "Joseph" in an American movie called "Mary Mother of Christ," which would have been his American debut, and was also supposed to star Al Pacino and Peter O'Toole.  However, due to various circumstances and changes that occurred before filming even could begin, "Mary Mother of Christ" never happened, and as of now, the movie's future (if any) is still uncertain.  But, as many of you know, Diogo's being cast in "Mary, Mother of Christ" actually played a pivotal part in Diogo getting the role as "Jesus" in "The Bible."  Reminding me, I have to say, that everything happens for a reason -- just not always in the way or the time we are expecting.
