Alberto Paulo "Buza" Ferraz was a Brazilian actor and director. In 1974, he participated in the soap opera O Rebu, on Rede Globo, whose character Cauê, with whom the millionaire Conrad Mahler, played by Ziembinski, was platonically in love. In the text, written by Bráulio Pedroso, the millionaire murders Cauê's girlfriend, out of jealousy, which becomes the great mystery of the plot. But the story was censored. It was the first time that the main character of a Brazilian soap opera was homosexual - the first narrative to address the theme had been Assim na Terra Como no Céu (1970-1971), with the character Rodolfo Augusto, played by Ary Fontoura.
