Ribeirinho
Ribeirinho, stage name of Francisco Carlos Lopes Ribeiro (Lisbon, 21 September 1911 – Lisbon, 7 February 1984) was a Portuguese actor and director. He started his career in theatre in 1929, and kept the connection all his life, both as an actor and as a manager. However, he is best known today for his comic roles in several films of the 1930s and 1940s, namely O Pai Tirano (The Tyrant Father, 1941) and O Pátio das Cantigas (Songs' Yard or Courtyard of Songs, 1942), which he also directed.
