Sérgio Mascouto

Sérgio Mascouto is an actor, psychologist, and content creator with a degree in Psychology from the Pontifical Catholic University (PUC-Rio). His artistic career is built at the intersection of humor, psychoanalysis, and independent cinema, exploring characters marked by strangeness, anguish, and social criticism.

He was the creator and host of the comedy interview show Psicanalhice, in which he combined clinical listening, irony, and improvisation, establishing a unique space for dialogue between psychology and pop culture.

His film debut as an actor was in the short film Status Quo (2023), directed by Pedro Valle, where he played the character Vizinho Júlio, a role that marked his entry into the audiovisual world and quickly stood out for the unsettling and ambiguous tone of the performance. The character would gain even more depth by becoming one of the protagonists of the feature film Quando o Sangue Flui (When the Blood Flows) (2025), co-directed by Cainã de Paulo and Pedro Valle, a duo with whom Mascouto maintains an ongoing artistic collaboration. In both films, his performance explores psychological discomfort, everyday grotesqueness, and the tension between normality and collapse.
