Giorgio Porcaro(1952-2002)
- Actor
Giorgio Porcaro was born in Benevento, Campania in 1952 but his family
moved toward Milan when he was child, he made his debut at famous Milan
theater "il Derby", he became one of the most important cabaret actor
in Italy, his first success in the theater was the play written by Enzo
Jannacci an Beppe Viola, "da dove vieni tu", where he invented the role
of "terrunciello" with typical dialect of a south man, that was carried
on the screen by Diego Abatantuono, close friend of Porcaro, but for
this reason, the friendship between Porcaro and Diego was compromised,
after the end of golden age of cabaret, he arrived on the screen but
probably his best film was "Si ringrazia la regione Puglia per averci
fornito i Milanesi", he worked with many important Italian actors and
directors like Pozzetto, Samperi, Boldi. This happened in early '80,
returned on TV screen for private Italian broadcasting but he died in
2002 for cancer, forgotten, after reconciliation with
Abatantuono.
