Renato Pozzetto (1988)

Renato Pozzetto (born July 14, 1940 in Laveno-Mombello ) is an Italian comedian, actor and film director .

Life

After completing a technical training, Pozzetto appeared as a cabaret artist together with Cochi Ponzoni as Cochi e Renato since the mid-1960s , with Ponzoni holding the intellectual, Pozzetto the rough but good-natured part. After initial stage experience, recordings and the breakthrough in television programs such as Quelli della domenica , È domenica ma senza impegno and Il poeta e il contadino , in which the duo could apply their surreal, nonsense humor, Pozzetto decided in 1974 after an offer Flavio Mogherinis for Per amare Ofelia to accept a cinema offer. With this excellent (special David di Donatello , Silver Ribbon ) personal success, in which he portrayed an Oedipal character, a successful film career in numerous comedies began with overwhelming box office success until the mid-1990s. The Lombard origins and special expressiveness were the focus of his characters in the corpulent, slightly bumbling-looking actor, who often reveals melancholy hidden behind rudeness. After years of success, Pozzetto abandoned the attempts made in recent films to completely renew himself and returned to his beginnings: with Ponzoni he played on television and again on the stage. In 1978, 1989 and as Schwanengesang 1996, Pozzetto himself directed his own script, which he also contributed several times to films by other directors.

Over the years numerous singles and LPs with songs, but also prose works, have appeared. In addition, Pozzetto was also active as an author and voice actor.

Pozzetto was married to Brunella Gabler, who died in 2009.
