Ruy Furtado
Ruy Gomes Furtado (also Rui Furtado ; born March 21, 1919 in Lisbon , † March 19, 1991 ibid) was a Portuguese actor.
Life
After graduating from the commercial school Escola Comercial Patrício Prazeres , he became an office worker in a trading company for photographic materials and also worked for the delicatessen trade magazine O Comércio de Víveres . In 1936 he also began an acting training at the National Conservatory ( Conservatório Nacional , today Escola Superior de Teatro e Cinema ).
He was on stage for the first time in 1938 at the Teatro da Trindade , in Manuel Fragoso's play Outono ( Engl .: autumn), a year before he finished his studies. He made his first film in 1944/45 with Sonho de Amor (English: dream of love), by director Carlos Porfírio . Since a professionally successful career in a wholesaling company was made possible for him, which secured his economic existence, he had only limited opportunities to pursue acting. It was not until 1964 that he resigned from his position after a. had received attention in theater roles in Porto, around 1957 in Bernardo Santareno's A Promessa (German: The Promise), A Bilha Quebrada (German: The Broken Jug ) by Kleist , or in Arthur Miller's A Morte de Um Caixeiro-Viagante ( Death a traveling salesman ).
He continued to play mainly theater, and also directed from 1970 to 1974, at the theater of the workforce of the Sacor (today Galp Energia ). Health reasons let him step back afterwards, but he played occasionally and from the 1980s again regularly in theater, for example at the Teatro Cornucópia in productions by Luís Miguel Cintra (Strindberg, Jourdheuil, Büchner) and Jorge Silva Melo (Brecht, Wycherley, Tchekov). In 1987 he played in Manoel de Oliveira's only theater production, at the Italian theater festival in Santarcangelo di Romagna , in De Profundis .
In his numerous film roles, he mostly impressed in smaller leading and supporting roles, for example in the key films of Novo Cinema , Os Verdes Anos and Uma Abelha na Chuva or in João Botelho's award-winning colonial war drama A Portuguese Farewell . Above all, his consistently convincing, authentic play in the very different roles convinced the critics.
