Caio is cousin of the playwright Rogério Blat and actor Ricardo Blat. The surname Blat is of Catalan origin and means 'wheat'.
Career
Blat was discovered at the age of eight, when he accompanied his sisters to an audition at an advertising agency at their mother's suggestion. He was cast in a commercial and soon became a familiar face in advertising. Since then, he has appeared in over 200 productions across various media.
