Mello began his acting career in 1969, appearing as Jimmy in the Brazilian telenovela A Cabana do Pai Tomás. He appeared in various shows over the years, including portraying the character Seu Chico in A Escrava Isaura. His last television work came in 2013 when he played the character Arruda in the soap opera Flor de Caribe.

After he retired from appearing in soap operas, Mello dedicated his time to voice acting.
