Bruno Tocci in a fotoromanzo publicity shot |
He was born on April 22nd[1] or 23rd[2], 1923 in the Testaccio, a district of Rome.
Around 1949 he was 1.80 m. tall, weighed 80 kg., with brown hair and light-blue eyes. He attended a ballet school and he had knowledge of English and French[2].
He made his first fotoromanzo appearance in 1949 and made his film debut the following year. While his film career is fairly patchy and always in small supporting roles, his work in fotoromanzi was far more prolific and varied, with more than 300 appearances in roles of varying sizes, his last coming in 1992.
His fotoromanzi-topilio profile says his final role was "just before his death", from which we can surmise that he must have died around 1993. No other websites give any details of his death (or birth).
He lived in Roma, in via Giovanni Amendola, 24-a[2].
