Gildo Bocci
Gildo Bocci (actually Igildo Bocci ; born September 1, 1886 in Rome , † July 22, 1964 ibid) was an Italian actor .
Life
Bocci began his screen career with two silent films in 1913 and then from 1924 became one of the most sought-after supporting actors of the prewar period, who, slightly flushed and good-natured, uncomplicated and appropriate, knew how to give even modestly elaborated characters sympathetic depth. His expression, which was influenced by the Roman dialect theater , in which he was active for a long time, reinforced this impression. Significant representations in his filmography can be found with the director in La signora di tutti (1934), the good-natured taxi driver in Dora Nelson (1939), the frivolous innkeeper in Marco Visconti (1941), the successful Galileo in La donna perduta , the likeable Pacchialone in Casanova farebbe così (1942), the tramp in Fuga a due voci and his most famous role, the completely under the slipper husband in Via delle cinque lune (both also 1942).
After the war he continued the line of his taxi drivers and good-natured porters, but was less challenged and was no longer seen from 1960.
