Hilter Frazão, signs his works as Hill Frazão which is his nickname and his artistic name. The first name of the actor, producer, filmmaker, writer and cast director Hilter Frazão, is a tribute to his parents Teodoro Castelo Branco and Ilma Maria Frazão Castelo Branco ("Il" from his mother's first name Ilma and "te" from his father's first name Teodoro, with an H at the beginning and an R at the end). Originally the spelling of his first name is Hilter, the name is pronounced "eel-ther" with stress on the first syllable, and for that reason in several films he had signed it that way. Very difficult pronunciation for non-portuguese speakers, so now, he signs all his work as Hill Frazão which is his nickname since his teenage years.
