Already a household name in his native Portugal and one of GQ's Men of the Year, Morgado's career spans top television, film and stage productions, including a lead role in the #1-rated Portuguese television series and International Emmy winner, Laços de Sangue.

His performance as Miguel in the 2000 telefilm Amo-Te, Teresa earned Diogo high regard as one of the most promising actors of his generation and the TV movie is still one of the highest rated ever in Portugal.

Diogo has worked consistently in Portuguese television with numerous series regular roles, many with the distinguished SIC network. His film credits include a noteworthy performance in the title role of Portuguese dictator Antonio De Oliveira Salazar in the hit feature film A Vida Privada De Salazar.

Morgado was also able to showcase his comedic chops in O Crime do Padre Amaro, which received international attention from directors all over the world. Diogo is also a passionate theatre actor and had lead roles in prestigious plays such as David Hare's Skylight and Peter Shaffer's The Royal Hunt to the Sun.

Beyond Portugal, Diogo has had lead roles in a few international films like Spain's Dos Rivales Casi Iguales and Star Crossed, and Brazil's Revelação and The Jungle.
