- Felice Minotti in Cineguida 1949
|
|
Felice was born on November 19th 1887 in Milan.
He began his career at the very beginning of the silent era, with his earliest listing on IMDb coming from 1908, when he was aged 21. From then it would appear that he worked steadily in films throughout the silent era, though unfortunately many of these films appear to be lost and the few that survive are only available in poor quality. He started out working in Milan, then relocated to Turin which was, at that time, the centre of the Italian film industry.
In the sound era he continued playing small character roles or generico appearances, with occasional more substantial parts. His Tototruffa profile tells us that he was also a successful theatre actor. In addition to his acting roles he also has a small number of production credits.
Felice died on March 21st 1963 in Turin, at the age of 75.

Films where he is credited with appearing somewhere online, but he cannot be found. There always has to be one!
- Il chiromante (1941) - ANICA - searched for several times but not found.
- La fuggitiva (1941) as Inquilino - ANICA - again searched for several times but not found.
- Antonio di Padova (1949) - ANICA - and again searched for multiple times with no luck, I think he may have been mis-identified for our Mr. Hyde here.
