There was a guy, I think one of the villain’s bodyguards/militia leader, who was just so blatantly wrong

Not Brazilian so I can't weigh in on other characters, but Passos, Max Payne's supposed ally and friend not really being Brazilian was actually a plot twist. I think it was even specifically mentioned that the bad guys relied on Max being enough of a dumb gringo that he wouldn't be able to pick up on his Portuguese sounding off. Is that who you were talking about?
No, it was actually one of the bad guys, let me see if I can find it.
Alright, watched part of a video of all the cutscenes, and found that it was the security chief for the Brancos, Theo Becker, who really bothered me. It turns out that he's a native speaker, but just an atrociously bad voice actor, lmao
Some of the Brazilian characters are clearly not native speakers, though, but it's funny now that I remember that what broke the immersion was the dialogue not sounding at all like natural Portuguese, except for the random gangsters you get to shoot.

haha Becker, hell yes. His bad voice acting makes him the most enjoyable boss fight imo
