Marcius Melhem (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈmaʁsjuz ˈmɛʎẽ]; born February 8, 1972) is a Brazilian actor, playwright, humorist, contributing editor, comedian and voice actor.

He is mostly known for his work at Rede Globo, the largest television network in Brazil. He also has worked as a writer of television programs and author of plays. In 2018, he became the head of the comedy department of Rede Globo, and was the one who wrote the most for that area.

Biography

Education and Career

Melhem has a degree in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro. He was a director of journalism at Agência Leia de Notícias, which produced content in real time for the domestic financial market.

One of his works on television was the comedy show Os Caras de Pau, which aired from 2010 to 2013.

In late 2019, Melhem retired from his career for "personal reasons". One of his daughters needed severe health care.

On August 14, 2020, his seventeen-year old contract with Rede Globo ended by mutual agreement. Globo thanked Melhem for the seventeen-year success.

Controversy

He has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women in an ongoing investigation. By February 2022, eight more women came forward.
