Tony Germano, 55, was an actor and voice actor who worked for Netflix, Disney, Nickelodeon, and the Brazilian theater industry. He died after a tragic fall from the roof of his São Paulo home. Shortly after the accident, authorities confirmed the death of an actor with a three-decade career, causing shock to fans and colleagues.

Tony Germano reportedly fell off the roof of his parents' old house on Wednesday morning while monitoring the status of renovations. Less than a month prior, he had returned to the house after making the decision to remodel it. He lost his balance while checking the roof work, which led to the fall. Shortly after, emergency personnel verified his death.

Despite ongoing renovations, Tony Germano reportedly spent time with his sister the night before the accident and seemed "well and excited" about his new chapter in life. He was childless and lived alone.


Tony Germano's three decades in theater and voice acting

A mainstay of Brazil's musical theatre, he was best known for his major productions of The Phantom of the Opera, Fiddler on the Roof, Annie, Miss Saigon, Jekyll & Hyde, and Man of La Mancha.

Miguel Falabella, a Brazilian actor who worked with him on numerous projects, called him a "dear friend" and "impeccable professional."

With animated shows on programs and platforms like Netflix, Nickelodeon, and Disney, Germano made a name for himself as a famous voice artist. He lent his voice to the following shows: Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn on Nickelodeon; Go, Dog, Go! on Netflix; and Disney's Beauty and the Beast live-action, among other animated movies like Elena of Avalor, The Muppets, and Sheriff Callie's Wild West.

He has also acted in Brazilian movies, including Phantom Summer, Necropolis Symphony, and his most recent work, Labyrinth of Lost Boys. The latter movie was screened in October at the 49th São Paulo International Film Festival.

The versatile artist was also part of the Dorian Gray, or Narcissus Through the Looking Glass production, which is to be released on 27 February 2027, where he was set to not only play the role of Henry Wotton in Act Two but was also the Assistant Director.

His versatility and talent made him a sought-after talent in Brazil.


The legendary artist was laid to rest in Vargem Grande Paulista on Thursday. Family, friends, and coworkers attended his funeral. His legacy will live on through his works.
