Rui Filipe Guerreiro

Born in Silves, Algarve, Rui Filipe Guerreiro went to Lisbon in the early 1990s to pursue his dream of becoming a DJ in a national radio. He accomplished his dream on Portuguese public radio station Antena 1, but left soon after to work in television. He began his career as a production assistant on several TV shows. He was also an editor, voice-over talent, producer and, in the last years of his life, he began directing several successful live morning talk shows. When he died in a car accident in 2000, at the age of 28, Portuguese television lost one of his most talented professionals. Ten years after his death, his name was still in the end credits of several shows as a celebration of his talent and his unique personality.
