Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day, everybody!
An episode of Will & Grace popped up while I was working tonight and it guest-starred Bruno Campos, who many people will remember as Quentin Costa on Nip/Tuck, but who most people will know as the voice of Prince Naveen in Disney's The Princess and the Frog.
"I wonder what he's been up to?" I thought. "I don't remember seeing him in anything recently."
A brief internet search revealed that the last thing he did was voice Prince Naveen for the Tiana's Bayou Adventure ride pre-show in 2024. Then I ran by his IMDB page to find out that he stopped acting in 2010, and the only work he's done past that was an occasional job for Disney when they needed Naveen's voice for something.
Turns out the guy quit acting to go to law school and works at a law firm in Washington, D.C.
Turns out that not only is he a native speaker of Portuguese and English, but he also speaks Spanish and Italian. Which might come in handy as a D.C. lawyer, I'd imagine.
Interestingly enough... his Italian also came in handy for playing Prince Naveen. The character is from the fictional country of Maldonia, where the language is based on Italian.
Isn't it great how you can learn random strange facts on a Monday evening?

That’s crazy! I’m really happy for him doing what he loves while still being willing to return to a role for which he’s beloved.
