Renato Rossini
Renato Rossini (often Howard Ross , also Red Ross ; born January 10, 1941 in Rome ) is an Italian actor .
Life
Rossini, an athletic man with pitch black hair, was soon cast in larger speaking roles after his first extras in sandal films in this very genre. In 1966 he got the lead role in the coat-and-sword film The Finale delivers Zorro , for which he took his stage name Howard Ross (after he had previously been listed several times as Red Ross in the staff details). Between 1967 and 1978 he played in a large number of genre films: adventure films , spaghetti westerns , Gialli and police films in which he earned his impressive physique. He probably showed his best performance in Flavio Mogherini's A Man Against the Mafia as the murderer Roy. From the 1980s Rossini shifted more to television roles until he gave up acting in the mid-1990s.
At the Busto Arsizio Film Festival 2015 he received an honorary award for his services to adventure cinema.
