Salvatore Campochiaro was born on 23 January 1893 in Catania, Italy. Originally a theater actor, he began to work in films in the 1940s and would go on to play memorable, though often uncredited, little character parts in a large number of comedies from the 1950s and 60s. He continued to work until the start of the 1980s, and passed away at the age of 90 on 7 November 1983.[1]
