José Darcy Cardoso, better known by his stage name David Cardoso, is a Brazilian actor of film, stage and television, who has also worked as a filmmaker and producer. Founder of production company DaCar Produções Cinematográficas , he's known as one of the main names among the erotic and pornographic productions of São Paulo's "Boca do Lixo". Born and raised in Maracaju, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, by 1963 Cardoso moved to São Paulo and began searching for gigs as a technician in filmmaking. Working as continuity supervisor and production director at Pam Filmes, Amacio Mazzaropi's production company, he got his debut as an actor in a short role in Mazzaropi's O Lamparina (1963). He would have his first substancial role in Walter Hugo Khouri's "O Corpo Ardente", in 1966.

As an actor, Cardoso was featured in more than 40 films, from pornographic features to family-friendly movies such as Roberto Farias' "Roberto Carlos em Ritmo de Aventura" (1968), including avant-garde and cult films like Ozualdo Candeias' "A Herança" (1971).
