About Me

Born in San Prospero, Parma, Italy on 23rd November 1941, you may know me from the films that I made in Italy during the 1960s and 1970s. During my time as an actor, I have worked with some of the greatest filmmakers including Luis Buñuel, Enzo G Castellari, Christopher Miles, Sergio Corbucci, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Elio Petri and Pasquale Festa Campanile.
