Life

At the beginning of the following decade he established himself as a comedic actor in supporting roles, for which his appearance - with a big nose and an engaging smile - predestined him.

Also in the 1990s he increased his involvement in television and played a. a. in the successful series Un medico in famiglia (as “Dottore Mariano”), Carabinieri and Don Matteo . His filmography includes around 70 titles.
For his role as the son of Alberto Sordi in Un borghese piccolo piccolo (1977), Crocitti was awarded the Nastro d'Argento and the David di Donatello .
He is best known to German audiences for his supporting role in Oedipussi (1988).
