Dhério Chagas plays his first lead role as a trafficker in Verônika com K
Dhério Chagas stars as trafficker Rod in Verônika com K, a series released on Globoplay.
The 44-year-old actor says holding even a prop gun makes him uncomfortable, and he felt nervous while filming the role.
He was raised in Rio de Janeiro after being adopted as a baby and grew up in a very different environment from Rod’s.
Chagas says he was about to begin a military career when he decided to pursue acting instead.
This is his first leading role, 20 years after his television debut in Sinhá Moça.
He says there were once few roles for Black actors, with productions often casting only one Black actor.
The series is now available on Globoplay, and no further plans are given.
Dhério Chagas plays his first leading role, as trafficker Rod, in the Globoplay series “Verônika com K.”
The series was made available on the platform on Thursday, October 22.
Chagas said that handling a weapon, even a prop, makes him uncomfortable and that he felt nervous and sweated during filming.
The 44-year-old actor said Rod’s life is very different from his own.

What people are saying
When they call cut in a scene, I take it off. I try not to keep it on my body, because it’s something I’m not used to.
On the set, I was very afraid, nervous and sweating cold.
Rod’s reality is very far from mine.
I always aimed to be a leading actor.
