Pedro Cardoso says he was fired from Globo for talking about politics.
Since he began taking a political stance, the actor, who identifies as left-leaning, hasn't received any acting offers from the network in about ten years: 'they only want submissive actors'.
247 - Actor Pedro Cardoso, known for his critical political stance, said in an interview with SplashAccording to UOL, he no longer receives job offers from Globo because of politics. The former Globo employee, who hasn't been invited to work at the Marinho family's network for about 10 years, says Globo only accepts 'the submissive'.
The actor, who considers himself left-leaning, says that since he began taking a political stance, he has become a "total enemy" of Globo. "To appear on Globo's programs, you have to be ideologically submissive," the actor criticizes.
Cardoso, who became famous as Agostinho Carrara in "A Grande Família" (2001-2014), says that if invited, he would accept, but he wouldn't remain silent if he heard something he disagreed with. "I'm not going to go on Globo to hear that the 1964 military coup wasn't a coup, it was a movement. If they told me that, I would say no, that it was a coup," he adds.
The actor also says that he harbors some resentment towards the network, as it refuses even to promote his theatrical performances.

One of Cardoso's last appearances on the channel was when he was on the defunct Na Moral (2012-2014), hosted by Pedro Bial himself, to debate against a paparazzo.
