Christian De Sica
Christian De Sica (born January 5, 1951 in Rome ) is an Italian actor and film director .
Life
De Sica, son of Vittorio De Sica and María Mercader , made his first experiences as an actor on stage at the age of 19. Two years later he played his first television role and in 1973 for the first time for the cinema.
There he celebrated numerous great successes with the public, in the 1980s often under the direction of Carlo Vanzina or Carlo Verdone , with whose sister he is married; from 1991 also occasionally on his own. In his films he mostly portrayed the likeable, but also stereotypical, young man whom the audience took to their hearts. The films, which were mostly produced strictly for commercial purposes, filled the halls during the Christmas season - several times they had this ("Natale") in their title.
Critics accused him of systematically leaving out non-banal topics in his films and occasionally slipping into vulgarity.
De Sica has received several awards. In 1976 he won a special David for his interpretation in Giovannino , another prize in this category he received in 2000, together with Massimo Boldi , and a third in 2009 for the twenty-five-year success of the Natale films, which were directed by Neri Parenti . In 2007 he was also honored with the "Telegatto" as best actor.
De Sica received another David in 2010 for his performance in Pupi Avatis Il figlio più piccolo .
