His most remembered role was as the priest Eurico in the 1996 ''telenovela'' ''Xica da Silva''.

==Biography== Lippiani was born in Belo Horizonte on September 11, 1964, later moving to Rio de Janeiro. He debuted on Rede Globo's 1987 ''telenovela'' ''Sassaricando'', and continued to work with them until 1990, when he left for Rede Manchete to act in ''Pantanal''. After briefly returning to Globo for the ''telenovelas'' ''Sonho Meu'' and ''Explode Coração'', he once again left them to return to Manchete, where in 1996 he acted in ''Xica da Silva''. Around the same time, he provided the voice of Sheriff Woody in the Brazilian Portuguese dub of the first ''Toy Story'' film, and also voiced actor Dean Cain on the first two seasons of the series ''Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman'' (after his death, he was replaced by Marco Ribeiro and Guilherme Briggs respectively).

Lippiani's final credited role was in the 1997 film ''For All - O Trampolim da Vitória''.

==Death== He died on May 24, 1997, at the age of 32, after losing control of his car and crashing it into a street light.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.otvfoco.com.br/em-1997-ator-que-vivia-o-padre-eurico-morreu-durante-gravacoes-da-novela-xica-da-silva/|title=Em 1997, ator que vivia o padre Eurico morreu durante gravações da novela 'Xica da Silva'|work=TV Foco|date=August 22, 2017|access-date=April 19, 2019|language=Portuguese}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bol.uol.com.br/fotos/2014/09/22/famosos-que-partiram-cedo-demais.htm?foto=135|title=Famosos que partiram cedo demais|work=BOL|date=September 22, 2014|access-date=April 19, 2019|language=Portuguese}}</ref>
