is a Sicilian actor, born in Comiso (Ragusa) on June 24, 1937. He is famous for his violent and perfidious characters, that was sewn on him but that he never had repudiated.
He began his career in show business in Milan in 1966, dancing the waltz in the famous Rai drama "Oblomov", but it's in '74 that the consecration arrives with the success of
Il marsigliese (1975), in which he plays the role of the killer: from that moment, the cinema will always want him for that type of role, with his classic hoarse voice and slit, threatening gaze.
In 2011 he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from his hometown Ragusa.
