Biography
Bussunda (nome artístico de Cláudio Besserman Viana,[1] Rio de Janeiro, 25 de junho de 1962 — Vaterstetten, 17 de junho de 2006) foi um ator, humorista e dublador brasileiro, membro do grupo Casseta & Planeta. Não tendo sucesso na escola e na faculdade, Bussunda encontrou no humor e na alegria o que ele realmente queria fazer da vida, vivia dizendo que o humor o havia salvado. Junto com seus companheiros do grupo Casseta & Planeta, construiu uma carreira na Rede Globo. Além do bom humor, uma de suas fortes características era zombar do próprio fato de ser comilão, o que o levava a imitar personagens com semelhante qualidade. Com os mesmos companheiros de televisão escreveu onze livros, lançou três discos, encenou uma peça de teatro e protagonizou um filme em 2003, A Taça do Mundo é Nossa (com um segundo, Seus Problemas Acabaram, lançado em 2006 postumamente). Ainda no cinema, fez uma participação especial no filme Como ser solteiro e dublou o personagem principal da animação Shrek. Faleceu na Alemanha enquanto realizava a cobertura da Copa do Mundo de 2006 para o "Casseta & Planeta".

Casseta & Planeta is a Brazilian group of comedians who run a TV show named Casseta & Planeta Urgente, broadcast by Rede Globo. The humour featured on the show is mostly satirical, relating to religious or ethical groups, and minorities. The group founded a company called Toviassu Produções Artísticas, whose name is an acronym composed of syllables from the phrase "Todo viado é surdo" – "Every gay is deaf"; which is the ending of a widely known Brazilian practical joke. Each one of the seven members has a specific function within the company. They present their TV show at Rede Globo and publish a website and many books, among other products, for example the "Machobol". Originally a magazine named Casseta Popular and a humour newspaper called O Planeta Diário, the two teams joined forces and were hired by Rede Globo to become writers for the network's comedy shows, starting with TV Pirata in 1988. A few years later, they starred in their own show.
