October 26, 2019

TABA: Describe Dani Moreno
Dani: Vegan, married, rescuer of animals...I have a very demanding sense of justice and zero-tolerance against animal violence. I love my art above almost everything in my life and I am learning that nothing is more important than family.
TABA: When did you know that you wanted to be an actress / Did you study acting?
Dani: I have always had my foot on the stage. I was always singing since I was small. The theatre became part of my life in 2005, as I had not sung in 2 years after the death of my father. After graduating in Social Communication, I worked for 3 years with advertising production. Along the way, I was doing tests for the films I produced myself and was approved in several of them. I dropped everything in May 2010 and I went to study acting at GlobeSP Vocational School. I left the course already approved for my first telenovela, Love and Revolution (Amor e Revolução), produced by SBT.
TABA: When did you have your big break in the acting industry?
Dani: In 2011, I did the soap opera Love and Revolution (Amor e Revolução) at SBT. Marta, my character opened me all the doors for dramaturgy in Brazil.

TABA: Describe a typical Dani Moreno day
Dani: Yoga, animals, and cooking.
TABA: Aisha is a well-known character around here from Brave Woman. Tell us about the experience you had playing the character, and being part of Globo at the time.
TABA: What impact did acting on Love and Revolution (Amor e Revolução) have on you?
Dani: There I played a girl who loved another girl in the middle of a military dictatorship. It was a strong character and full of love for me.
TABA: How did you first react to Safira when you landed the role in Friends to the Rescue?
TABA: What
are the day to day challenges of acting in Brazil?
Dani: I think in the life of any actor, anywhere in the world, the biggest difficulty is called the "off-season" period in which the actor finishes a project and awaits the next one. This is the biggest challenge for me. It hurts me to stay away from floorboards and lights of a studio. I am almost nothing without my craft.
TABA: You have a very wonderful voice! In Friends to the Rescue,
TABA: Are there any particular styles of music that you are into?
TABA: How has 2019 been for you thus far? Are there things you

TABA: You have a very wonderful voice! In Friends to the Rescue,
you have sung Decadence Avec Elegance and Sangue
Latina, proving your musical prowess. That is quite a gift!
Dani: Thank you!!! =)
TABA: Are there any particular styles of music that you are into?
Dani: I like a lot of things. Brazilian music, especially! Zeca Baleiro, Elis Regina, Caetano Veloso, Alceu Valença are among my favorites
TABA: Other than acting and singing, have you ever considered any
other interests in life?
Dani: I've worked behind the scenes of film productions. I can't run away from art.
TABA: Are there any actors/actresses whom you would say have
been
influences for you?
Dani: Laura Cardoso is my inspiration. As an actress, human being, professional, finally ...She is my greatest icon. Another person who inspires me too much is Giovanna Antonelli. I have never seen a more competent, cheerful, efficient professional ... She is also a fantastic example.
TABA: Do you think Brazilian television and cinema are at a good
place now?
Dani: We are far from being in a good place. The daily life of cinematic art and TV here is a fight! We are always looking for sponsorship and recognition. Being an artist in Brazil is a political position, I would say.
TABA: You are passionate about the preservation of animal life. Tell us about that.
Dani: From childhood, I felt a great connection to animals. My grandfather and my father rescued animals to care and rehabilitate. I grew up seeing their passion for domestic animals. My love went beyond. For me, it makes no sense to love and protect a dog while at the same time, eating a pig. Today we are living in a moment of environmental collapse and this is closely linked to our eating habits. The livestock is devastating the planet and if we do not arouse compassion, humanity is in danger of facing the greatest of climate and environmental disasters.
TABA: Being a champion for preservation for animal life, what is
your
opinion on the current plight over the saving of the Amazon, and what do you
think the Brazilian government should take into consideration (especially with
a president like yours)
Dani: The Amazon goes beyond preserving the life of animals. We humans have a sense of exploration in our DNA. Our stories are all based on the exploration of humans through slavery, animal exploitation, mineral exploitation, and then?... We explore all life on the planet for capitalism - All to turn into cash or currency of exchange. We forget that we have a planet that gives us what is necessary for our survival. All who occupy places of power, both in Brazil and abroad, unfortunately, defend their own interests and forget to preserve for tomorrow. I am 100% against any form of exploitation of the Amazon.
TABA: Can you tell us a bit about your upcoming role in Cristianne Fridman’s telenovela, Amor sem Igual?
Dani: I cannot say much but her name is Furacão, a prostitute. Her real name is Berenice. She spares no effort for the survival of her family.

TABA: How has your experience been working at RecordTV since
Jesus (We are hoping to see it here in
Kenya)
Dani: I hope Jesus airs in Kenya as well! =) It's been a relationship of trust above everything. Record highly values professionals committed to each character and their work and I cherish a house that recognizes this in its employees. It has been a wonderful
experience.

TABA: How is it being married to a fellow artist?
Dani: It is wonderful to be able to share the same trade with your partner. We have extremely productive exchanges!

TABA: What are you most excited about these days?
Dani: The expectation of the premiere of Amor sem Igual and Furacão being known by the public!
TABA: How has 2019 been for you thus far? Are there things you
wish
you could have achieved by now and have not?
Dani: I finished a telenovela, got married, and I'm starting another telenovela that promises to be a big hit. There's nothing 2019 hasn't given me.
TABA: What advice you normally give to aspiring actors in the
industry (both nationally and outside of Brazil)
Dani: Perseverance. Patience.
TABA: What would you like people to remember about you?
Dani: Of my unconditional love for all that I dedicate myself to.
Thank you very much for the time you have taken to interact with
us and we hope for nothing but the best for your future projects
