RAFAELA GONÇALVES
LA based Brazilian Actress
Rafaela Gonçalves (pronounced “Hafa-ella”) hails from the vibrant culture of samba and carnaval in Brazil. She is a trilingual actress fluent in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, and holds a BFA in Performing Arts Acting.
While she thrives on stage and in front of the camera, Rafaela developed a passion for behind-the-scenes work during college. This interest in writing, directing, filming, and editing led her to pursue an MFA in Producing.
In addition to her acting career, Rafaela is also a talented singer, model, dancer, and musician. As a child, she entertained her family with numerous one-woman shows, always expressing her dream of studying and pursuing an acting career in the City of Angels. At just seventeen years old, she made the life-changing decision to move to the United States on her own, but she has always carried a piece of Brazil with her.
Rafaela is currently represented commercially by Dangerfield Talent Agency. One of her primary goals is to enhance Brazilian representation in the entertainment industry, particularly in the United States.
