Creator / Magalhães Graça

José de Magalhães Graça, best known as Magalhães Graça was a Brazilian actor and voice actor. Having acted in theatre in the 1940's and film in the 50's and 60's, he left his brand as one of the most prolific dubbers in the golden era of Brazilian dub, having participated in countless iconic dubs of Disney animated movies and productions from the 1960's and 1980's.Details of his life are scarcely known, including his own birthyear and year of death, with different sources giving different dates. Some state he was born in 1924, 1928, and that he died in either 1989, 1990 or 1991. There's been rumours that his death occurred in the middle of work while recording lines for an episode of Ducktales (1987), but it's been jossed by comments on his fanpage stating that he actually died at home from a pulmonar disease.

Tropes:

• Beware the Silly Ones: His high-pitched, suave voice tended to be cast for goofy, flamboyant villains whose silliness hid their true colors.
• Cool Old Guy: He was typecast as older, wise characters who often served as mentors to the heroes.
• Pop-Culture Urban Legends: A common rumour is that he perished in the midst of recording an episode of Ducktales 1987 in 1988. This was dismissed by a niece of his.
• Underage Casting: He started playing old men when he was still in his forties, as he already sounded much older back then.
• Vague Age: As mentioned above, there are divergences as to the year he was born and died. What's safe to say is that he was born in the 1920's and died in the late 1980's or 1990.
