Salvo Randone
Salvo Randone (actually Salvatore Randone ; born September 25, 1906 in Syracuse , † March 5, 1991 in Rome ) was an Italian actor .
Life
Randone began his artistic career as an amateur actor before Annibale Ninchi signed him in 1926. In the following years he played theater for Ruggero Ruggeri, Melati, Picasso and Zacconi in Rome, Milan and Venice . In the last years of the war, almost entirely without employment, Randone was able to build on the old successes after the end of the war. He played character roles in classics from Sophocles and Shakespeare to Gorky, Pirandello, Ibsen, Becket and O'Neil. In 1950 his Malvolio from William Shakespeare's What you want in Naples caused a particular stir . In 1954 he founded the Brignone-Randone-Santuccio theater group . Numerous recordings of his theater appearances (for example King Lear and Othello ) have also been filmed for television. Randone also worked for radio plays. In 1958 he received the Premio San Genesio for his theatrical art in the Teatro Stabile di Bari .
Randone made his film debut in 1943, but the theater remained his real profession. After his cinematic breakthrough with Elio Petris L'assassino (1960), the strong, rough and sometimes difficult actor also became a fixture in Italian film.
The Italian star director Federico Fellini made two films with Randone: in the episode film Histoires extraordinaires (Randone appeared in the episode Toby Dammit ) and the adaptation of Petronius ' Satyrica - Fellini's Satyricon . Randone was given preferential treatment by Fellini during filming. So he could do without memorizing the dialogues, which he hated, because Fellini later had Adolfo Geri dub his role . Instead, Fellini had Randone recite rows of numbers or monologues from Pirandello pieces during the filming to accompany the gestures.
