Check Out Arthur Garbe’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Arthur Garbe.

Hi Arthur, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I was always more connected to my creative side than anything else. After finishing my mandatory military service in Brazil, I followed the traditional path for a while and got my law degree, but deep down, I knew I wasn’t built for that life. So I made a huge decision: I packed my bags and moved to Los Angeles to try my luck at becoming an actor.

The beginning wasn’t easy. I didn’t know many people, it was tough to even find a place to live, and finding the right opportunities felt like searching for a needle in a haystack. But I kept going, one step at a time.

Since then, I’ve acted in over 20 short films, like Lost in Rock , which won Best Short Film at the NYC Indie Film Awards and Mindfield Film Festival, and I was awarded Best Actor at the Roma Short Film Festival for Connection. I also found a second passion in voice acting, working on projects for Netflix, Amazon, and Disney+, including voicing “Iván” in Elite (Seasons 5–8) and “Max” in Chica Vampiro for Globo TV in Brazil.

More recently, I was in Brazil for 3 months filming “Americana” for Disney+, playing “Timothy” as a series regular. I’ve also had the chance to work with some incredible Brazilian talents like Paulo Gustavo, André Mattos, and Edmilson Filho, and appeared in music videos for Becky G, Karol G, and DJ Marshmello.

Looking back, taking that leap of faith was the best decision I could have made. I’m still building, still learning, and still chasing new dreams every day.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Moving to Los Angeles was a big shift. Even though I already spoke English when I got here, working as an actor in another language comes with a whole different set of challenges. I still have a slight accent, and sometimes that can limit the opportunities I’m considered for.

Beyond that, the cultural differences were real. The pace of the industry, the way people communicate, even just finding the right people to trust, it was a lot to navigate. It’s easy to fall into the Hollywood party lifestyle too, and I’m grateful I had good people around me who helped keep me out of situations that could have led me down the wrong path.

Rejection is a constant part of this journey. I still face it today, and there are still days full of doubt. Becoming an actor in this town is one of the hardest things anyone can try to do and honestly, I’m still fighting for my place. But every audition, every setback, every small win is part of the story I’m building. I’m proud of how far I’ve come, and I’m excited for everything that’s still ahead.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
Well, I’m still fully focused on building a strong, successful career as an actor. It’s a tough journey, and this industry can be brutal, but I feel like, day by day, I’m refining myself. I’m constantly adjusting what needs to be adjusted, identifying what’s holding me back, and working on it. And the more I do that, really face my flaws and push through them, the more opportunities seem to present themselves.

It feels like I’m making my own luck. So right now, my main focus is on development, self-improvement and really understanding where I fall short so I can grow into a world-class actor. I’ve been getting good opportunities through different agencies, and I recently signed with a new commercial agent. My manager does a great job keeping me in the room, getting me strong auditions and valuable opportunities.

But at the end of the day, it all comes down to my craft, my talent, my preparation, my ability to deliver when it matters. That’s what will create momentum and open the right doors. Right now, I’m investing everything into becoming the best version of myself. I’m giving it everything I’ve got over the next few years. And if, for some reason, it’s not meant to be the way I imagine, I might shift my focus, but even then, I’ll always be an artist. I’ll always be an actor at heart. Whether I make it big or not, this will always be a huge part of who I am.

Can you talk to us a bit about the role of luck?
The people that I’ve met. For sure that played a huge part in everything I’ve accomplished so far. I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for my manager Rachid Ait and a couple other people that put me in the right path and encouraged me to keep going. God put them in my life for a reason and I believe I was very lucky to have met them.
