Five years later he began a steady career also as a film actor under director Ninì Grassia , where he could be seen regularly in melodramas and comedies until the beginning of the 1990s. Films that also gave him enough space to present a few songs. His parents' death in 1990 overshadowed his career for several years as he fell into a deep depression.
