Josias Duarte was born in Rio de Janeiro, he lived his adolescence and half of his life in Paris, where he majored in drama at Cours Florent and Studio Pygmalion. Some names stand out in his formation such as: JP. Garnier, Bob MC Andrew, and Pascal Emmanuel Lunneau, "masters" from whom he cultivates the art of being and not resembling. In his first steps as an actor, he starred in Paname, a movie by Mattia Ballereni, which gave him a great entry into the cinematographic business. His great feature is his metarmophosis between each character, which makes him almost unrecognizable. With a career built between cinema and theater, from Nestor, in Low Cost comedy by Maurice Barthelemy, to Scapino, in As artimanhas de Scapino, Josias Duarte returns to Brazil in 2011, where he has made appearances on TV and national cinema.
