A child prodigy who conquered viewers for his role as Pa?oca in Chiquititas (2013), Rafael Miguel is also best remembered due to a hilarious TV commercial where he breaks down in despair when his mother doesn't buy him broccoli at the market. The commercial launched his career in many TV series, two films and one miniseries.　　His first credits were in Cristal (2006) and the miniseries JK (2006). Another roles include Pé na Jaca (2006), the film Meu Mundo em Perigo (2007) and Cat's Cradle (2009). After Chiquititas (2013) he took a break from acting; but sadly returning on TV and on the news due to a tragic event.　　On the afternoon of 9 June, 2019 - a month shy of his 23rd birthday - Rafael was brutally killed by his girlfriend's father at their house. His parents were also murdered in what would be a simple conversation between both families to discuss the couple's relationship; however, the girl's father didn't offered them any chance, shooting all three and fleeing the crime scene.　　Rafael Miguel will be remembered as a young talent, full of energy, who sadly left us too soon.
