His parents worked hard to support their three children; his father was rarely at home, traveling internationally as a percussionist, whilst his mother worked during the day as a systems analyst and attended college at night. Diogo's childhood was split between the district of Botafogo and his grandparents' house in the Tijuca favela. He was surrounded by artistic people thanks to his father and at an early age he dreamed of a career in the world of performing arts. Instead of toys, Diogo grew up playing with percussion instruments, and started practicing capoeira as soon as he could walk.Without any formal training, Diogo kick-started his acting career in 2002 as a percussionist and actor, playing a supporting role at the mainstream stage production of "Capitães da Areia" after his talent was recognised by the play's director, Pedro Vasconcelos, at the famous Teatro Vannucci in Rio de Janeiro. From there, Diogo began his training by seeking out as many free acting social projects as he could, gaining scholarships at various drama schools.In 2003, Diogo successfully auditioned for Grupo Nós do Morro, the nationally acclaimed favela-based theatre project. Here, despite the dangers of gang violence regularly disrupting rehearsals, he spent over four years developing his acting skills, discovering his versatility for interpreting a wide range of different characters. He was given the opportunity to act in a variety of works by playwrights such as Garcia Lorca and Shakespeare. After moving to London, Diogo also trained at the Identity School of Acting, the UK and USA's double award-winning drama school founded by Femi Oguns.Diogo first went to UK in 2006 with the Nós do Morro theatre company, invited by the RSC to feature in the Complete Works Shakespeare Festival at The Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon.

His success here led to a leading role in Colin Teevan's "Amazonia" at the Young Vic theatre in London's West End. His accomplished physical acting skills resulted in a critically-acclaimed raw interpretation of his character, the bull. After the show, Diogo decided to stay in London to continue pursuing his career as an actor internationally.Diogo's on-screen debut was a recurring role in season 6 of "Game of Thrones" on HBO.
