Rodrigo Alcazar Faro (born 20 October 1973) is a Brazilian television presenter, actor and singer.
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. [1] In 1996 he starred his first telenovela, Antônio Alves, Taxista, on SBT.
In 2008, he moved to RecordTV to present Ídolos . [2] However, before making his debut in the musical reality, he was called to quickly replace presenter Márcio Garcia in O Melhor do Brasil.

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. [5]
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. [6] [7]

The couple has been together since 1997 and has been married since 2003. In their wedding rings is written "Forever, Vera" and "Forever, Rodrigo." According to Faro, it was love at first sight. [9] Faro is Catholic, [10] his mother, Vera Lúcia Alcazar Faro, is a university professor. [11] Gil Vicente, Faro's father, was a dentist and split up from his wife when Rodrigo was 9 years old. Gil died when Faro was 13 years old and they had little contact.
Rodrigo has a blog on the Internet portal of RecordTV, R7.
In 2014, Rodrigo had his net worth valued at R$100 million (US$23 million) by Isto É magazine. [12] As a presenter, he receives a monthly salary of R$2 million (US$478,572) from RecordTV.
