Andrea Scotti (alias Andrew Ascott/Andrew Scott) was an actor who had some success in the sixties and seventies.

He began his training at C.S.C. academy in 1956[1], but unlike many C.S.C. actors of the next decade, he often appeared with well-defined roles and sometimes in quite conspicuous parts in almost 100 films - never, however, in leading roles. He almost immediately lost the acronym c.s.c., but continued to receive it, infrequently, until 1965.

During the 1960s, he appeared in a lot of westerns and Eurospy movies, in which he was usually credited under the Anglicised pseudonym Andrew Scott.

He had a slightly cross-eyed gaze that gave him a stern look and his angular facial-features made him a popular choice for the interpretation of villains. Not infrequently, however, he also covered police roles. He was a very valid and convincing actor, one of the luckiest to come out of the C.S.C. in those years.
